Figure 2. TSP-1KO mice failed to up-regulate IL-17A and MMPs after DS.
Relative fold of expression of IL-17A, IFN-γ, IL-13, and IL-13:IFN-γ ratio in the conjunctiva (A) and IL-17A, MMP-3, and MMP-9 in the corneal epithelium, using the NS of each strain as the strain calibrator. Bar graphs show mean ± sd of three independent experiments (final n=9/group/time-point). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001.
