title: Murine experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis induced by interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein and Klebsiella pneumoniae 03 lipopolysaccharide (K03-LPS): a relation between H-2 haplotype and EAU induction.
abstract: The pathogenicity of interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) in the mouse and H-2 restriction of IRBP-induced experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) was tested by repeated immunization using Klebsiella pneumoniae 03 lipopolysaccharide (K03-LPS) as an adjuvant. It was shown that IRBP had a greater capacity to induce EAU than S-antigen. Based on the incidence of EAU induction using B10 congenic mice and other strains, the susceptibility to EAU was, at least in part, controlled by the I-Ak haplotype of the H-2 subregion. The results also indicated that non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play some role in disease susceptibility.
