Popis: Peptide 1169-1191 is a major uveitopathogenic determinant of bovine Interphotoreceptor Retinoid Binding Protein (IRBP) in Lewis rats. Previously, we identified two proteins with approximate molecular masses of 72 and 74 kDa and one with a molecular mass of 40 kDa from B cells of naive Lewis rats and EBV-transformed B cells from a human patient with ocular Behcet′s disease that bind to bovine IRBP peptide 1169-1191. In this study, we have partially characterized these proteins. The two proteins with molecular masses 72 and 74 kDa belong to the HSP 70 family of proteins and the 40-kDa protein is actin.
