Figure 5. Conjunctival imprints evaluated
by flow cytometry for CD45-positive cells after multiple instillations
at H4, and assessed after cytospin centrifugation. The inflammatory
marker clearly showed the highest expression in BAC-containing eye
drops (A). PBS- and LCEm- instilled groups had only a basal
level of expression. CD45-positive cells (green) after instillations of
BAC+latanoprost (B) were viewed after propidium
iodide staining (red) and cytospin centrifugation. The scale bar
indicates 50 μm. The asterisk indicates a p<0.05 compared with BAC+latanoprost-instilled
group. The double asterisk indicates a p<0.02 compared with BAC+latanoprost-instilled
group.
