Figure 4. IL-1α increases migration of BECs.

Monolayers of C57 BECs were scratched and treated as labelled at the time of wounding. The area of the scratch was analysed and graphed as the percent of the wound filled in by the cells (shown in A, quantified in B). Scale bar is 200 microns. Quantification of chemotaxis assay showed increases in both the 1% serum and IL-1α conditions. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 vs. vehicle-treated cultures. ††p<0.01 and †††p<0.001 vs. IL-1α. N=3
