Figure 4. Autoantibodies against the
retinal autoantigens detected in experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis
were tested using sera from human endogenous uveitis patients. The
antibody titer was calculated as binding units according to the formula
given in Methods. Statistically significant difference of positive rate
between each patient group and healthy control (HC) was detected in
Behcet’s disease (BD; p=0.016) and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKH;
p=0.015) for anti-EsteD antibody, and in VKH (p=0.015) and sarcoidosis
(p=0.036) for anti- brain-type creatine kinase (BB-CK).
