摘要:

Different forms of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) can be produced by varying protocols to present different autoantigens to several species of experimental animal. We have studied the clinical, histological and serological responses of rabbits to footpad injection of various fractions of retina extract. Rabbits injected with retina extract or S antigen developed posterior uveitis. However, rabbits injected with retina extract, also developed an anterior uveitis and pinealitis not seen in rabbits receiving S antigen. The Serological response of rabbits to retina extract was different than that to purified S antigen. Antisera of rabbits receiving retina extract reacted with rabbit retina and pineal gland as well as with guinea pig retina but not with guinea pig pineal gland. In contrast anti-S antigen sera reacted with rabbit retina and guinea pig retina and pineal gland but not with rabbit pineal gland. Gel filtration chromatography of the ammonium sulfate supernate of retina extract was used to differentiate the antigens with which these two sera reacted. An analysis of these experiments gives preliminary evidence of an autoantigen(s) of rabbit retina and pineal gland that is not S antigen. The existence of multiple autoantigens common to retina and pineal gland in various species is significant in that it further underscores the relationship of these tissues. Furthermore, it is not unrealistic to expect more than one autoantigen of retina or uvea to be involved in autoimmune uveitis.
