Active clinical disease resolves by Day 21 but transferred CD4+ T cells persist within the retina when disease is in a clinically quiescent state. Concurrent transfer of RBP3 (also known as IRBP) specific and OVA-specific activated cells induces a similar clinical disease phenotype and time course. Both RBP3 and OVA-specific cells are recruited during active clinical disease in equal measure showing that autoantigen-specific CD4+ T cells induce susceptibility for recruitment of other activated CD4+ T cells. When analysing the endogenous and transferred CD4+ T cells by RNA sequencing, differences between the two sets of gene signatures highlight genes that are also found in pathogenic T cells in other models, including upregulation of markers associated with cytokine interactions and NK cell mediated cytotoxicity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
