Mouse models of allergic conjunctivitis mimic various aspects of human allergic conjunctivitis. They are useful as acute models of allergic conjunctivitis to study immunological aspects of this condition. In this chapter, we will describe ragweed-pollen-induced experimental allergic conjunctivitis (mostly driven by adaptive immunity), and papain-soaked contact lens-induced experimental allergic conjunctivitis (mostly driven by innate immunity). Giemsa staining of histological sections is used for quantification of the number of infiltrating eosinophils, which is useful to evaluate the severity of the allergic inflammation. Immunohistochemical staining and quantitative PCR are used to clarify spatiotemporal expression of proinflammatory molecules in the conjunctival tissue. Flow cytometric analysis of conjunctival tissue is used for the detection of innate lymphoid cell type 2 (ILC2) in the ocular surface tissues.
