Administration of a peptide inhibitor of alpha4-integrin inhibits the development of experimental autoimmune uveitis [PDF]
Recruitment of lymphocytes into the retina and to the vitreous during the development of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) is governed by factors such as the state of activation of inflammatory cells and the repertoire of adhesion molecules expressed
