To determine if complement anaphylatoxin-mediated inflammation contributes to the development and progression of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), we induced disease in wild type and complement anaphylatoxin receptor-deficient mice (C3a receptor(-/-), C5a receptor(-/-) and C3aR(-/-)/C5aR(-/-)) and evaluated the eyes three weeks post-induction. No differences in disease severity or in disease incidence were seen between wild type controls and anaphylatoxin receptor-deficient mice. Our data indicate that C3a and C5a-mediated functions are not critical to the development of EAU.
为了确定补体过敏毒素介导致炎是否有助于实验性自身免疫性葡萄膜炎(EAU)的发展和进展,我们在野生型和补体过敏毒素受体缺陷型小鼠(C3a 受体(-/-)、C5a 受体(-/-)和 C3aR(-/-)/C5aR(-/-))中诱导疾病,并在诱导后 3 周评估眼睛。在疾病严重程度或疾病发生率方面,野生型对照与过敏毒素受体缺陷型小鼠之间没有差异。我们的数据表明,C3a 和 C5a 介导的功能对 EAU 的发展不是至关重要的。
