Uveitis was induced in rhesus monkeys immunized with purified retinal S-antigen. Focal retinal and subretinal infiltration, in addition to periphlebitic changes, were observed histologically. Immunized monkeys had similar cell-mediated in vitro immune responses to the S-antigen, as do humans with posterior uveitis. Circulating immune complexes at the time of disease were not detected. This primate model supports the notion that the S-antigen may play a role in human uveitis.
