Figure 6. Profile of circulating
autoantibodies to glycated crystallins in human serum. A:
Profile of circulating autoantibodies to HMW+α-glycated crystallins in
serum during aging with respect to cataractogenesis as determined by
antibody capture assay using polyclonal antibodies raised against human
total lens proteins. Values are mean±SD at every given time point
(n=5). The asterisk indicates that p<0.05, and the double asterisk
indicates that p<0.001. N-apparently normal subjects; P-cataract
patients. B: Profile of circulating autoantibodies to
β-glycated crystallins in serum during aging with respect to
cataractogenesis as determined by antibody capture assay using
polyclonal antibodies raised against human total lens proteins. Values
are mean±SD at every given time point (n=5). The asterisk indicates
that p<0.05, and the double asterisk indicates that p<0.001.
N-apparently normal subjects; P-cataract patients. C: Profile
of circulating autoantibodies to γ-glycated crystallins in serum during
aging with respect to cataractogenesis as determined by antibody
capture assay using polyclonal antibodies raised against human total
lens proteins. Values are mean±SD at every given time point (n=5). The
asterisk indicates that p<0.05, and the double asterisk indicates
that p<0.001. N-apparently normal subjects; P-cataract patients.
