Temporal correlation of sequential aqueous humour levels of bioactive TNF protein, TNF mRNA, GADPH mRNA and corneal graft thickness from two representative rabbit corneal allograft recipients. (a) Rabbit 1. (b) Rabbit 2. Abscissas for all panels are standardized as day post-transplant. Vertical dotted line indicates observed onset on endothelial rejection in each rabbit. Panels from top: mRNA for GAPDH (polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product 307 kb) and TNF (PCR product 332 kb); TNF protein measured on bioassay; central corneal graft thickness; relative mRNA levels for TNF (▴) and GAPDH (circles) in sequential samples from each rabbit.
