Experimental design for dexamethasone-injected mice. In all animals, one conjunctival fornix received a vehicle injection while the fellow conjunctival fornix received a dexamethasone injection weekly for the duration of the experiment. In the initial treatment phase of the experiment, both eyes of the animals in the control group received topical PBS treatment while both eyes of animals in the treatment group received topical STC-1. In the second treatment phase of the experiment, the vehicle-injected eyes of the STC-1 treatment had a washout of STC-1 treatment.
