Our current study addresses these gaps in knowledge in animal models of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity: (1) Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) is an induced autoimmune uveitis model, driven by a response to retinal autoantigen, interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (IRBP), following active immunization. This evidence concerns the gene RBP3 and Autoimmunity.
