title: Model of immunogenic uveitis in rabbits.
abstract: Six models of experimental immunogenic uveitis induced by injection of normal horse serum were tried in rabbits. A convenient working variant of the model was developed characterized by high activity and long duration of the inflammatory process in the eye. Creation of this model requires pre-sensitization (subcutaneous injection of 5 ml normal horse serum) followed by intravitreal injection of the resolving dose of horse serum on day 9. An adapted improved model of experimental immunogenic uveitis in rabbits is proposed.
