CXCL11 protein levels demonstrated by Western Blot. CXCL11 protein expression was determined by Western blot analysis and band intensities were analyzed using Image-J program. CXCL11 protein increased by 1.24-fold (±0.07 SD) in cultured human RPE cells stimulated with 10 μg/ml AGE for 24 h. The result is expressed as the mean ± SD and represents four experiments. Statistical comparisons were determined by homoscedastic one-tailed Student’s t-test. *p < 0.001 was considered significant.
