Groups from Tuvalu, Uvea, Niue, and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) represented other parts of Polynesia with vigor and variety. Posterior uveitis, which results from inflammation of a part of the eye known as the uvea, is believed to result from an immune reaction against some of the antigens in the eye, specifically the S antigen protein (Sag) and the interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP). The structures of the uvea are collectively known as the uveal tract. |
