IRBP (1-20), human 

IRBP (1-20), human contains a major epitope for the H-2^b haplotype. IRBP (1-20), human induces experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) in H-2^b mice^[1][2].

IRBP (1-20), human TFA induces EAU^[2].
For determination of proliferative and cytokine responses, lymph node and spleen cells are collected 21 days after immunization and are stimulated in culture with the appropriate antigen. Cells of C57BL/6 mice and 129/J mice immunized with IRBP (1-20), human TFA proliferated in response to the peptide^[2].
