Expression of HspBs after optic nerve injury. mRNA levels of HspBs in rat retinae were measured by quantitative RT-PCR of control rats, sham-operated rats, and rats 5 days after cutting of the optic nerve (ONI). Note a significantly increased expression of HspB1 and HspB8 in response to ONI. Control, sham n = 5, ONI n = 6, *p < 0.05
