TY - JOUR AB - Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) is an autoimmune disease that occurs with a high prevalence (10%) in horses. ERU represents the only reliable spontaneous model for human autoimmune uveitis. We already identified and characterized novel autoantigens (malate dehydrogenase, recoverin, CRALBP) by analyzing the autoantibody-binding pattern of horses affected by spontaneous recurrent uveitis (ERU) to the retinal proteome. CRALBP also seems to be relevant to human autoimmune uveitis. Proteomic screening of vitreous and retinal samples from ERU diseased cases in comparison to healthy controls has led to the identification of a series of differentially regulated proteins, which are functionally linked to the immune system and the maintenance of the blood-retinal barrier AU - Deeg, C.A.* AU - Hauck, S.M.

VL - 21 PY - 1989 SN - 0030-3747 ER - TY - JOUR AB - To determine whether an unbalanced redox state might accompany the development of particular inherited mouse cataracts, the lenticular content of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were chosen as markers. For wild-type lenses, an enhanced GSSG content could be observed in females as compared to males. Such a sex effect could not be detected for the SOD activity. In the mutants, GSSG content in cataractous lenses was found to be enhanced in 2 of 7 cases; the increases in other mutants were not significant. Changes of the SOD activity were even less consistent and only a random correlation of GSSG content and SOD activity with cataractogenesis could be deduced. AU - Graw, J. AU - Bors, W.
