Abstract:Vitreoushumour(VH)is a transparent, highly hydrated gel, which occupies the vitreous cavity. The protein composition of the VH would change in pathological conditions of the retina, which has been testified in many studies. In the last decade, proteomics analyses have been performed to study the proteome of the human VH and hope to find some specific proteins in the aetiology of diabeticretinopathy(DR). Recent proteomic studies on the VH from animal models of autoimmune uveitis have identified some specific proteins in related entophthalmia.
