葡萄膜炎是眼科常见的致盲性眼病之一。实验性自身免疫性葡萄膜炎模型(EAU)是研究人类葡萄膜炎乃至全身自身免疫性疾病的一种实验动物模型。EAU模型通过视网膜抗原诱导造模，以眼部视网膜及周围相关组织为靶器官，是研究葡萄膜炎机制以及检验新型抗感染及免疫抑制类药物的重要工具。文章就实验性自身免疫性葡萄膜炎模型的造模方法、基本病程、评价方法、模型机制以及研究前景等方面进行综述。

Uveitis is one of the major sight-threatening diseases in ophthalmology. Animal models of experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) are important models for the study of uveitis and systemic autoimmune diseases. Targeting immunologically privileged retinal antigens, EAU serves as a research tool to reveal basic mechanisms as well as to evaluate novel anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs. This review details on the model induction methods, course of disease, criteria for evaluation, underlying mechanisms and research prospects.
