Figure 4. Effects of neutrophil depletion on the expression of S100A proteins and cytokines in neovascularized corneas at day 5 after suture placement. The relative level of each gene obtained by comparing with RPL5 in the normal group was set arbitrarily at 1.0 and the level in other groups was calculated accordingly. Five corneas were included in each group and the measures shown were for mean±standard deviation (n=5); the asterisk indicates a p<0.05 versus control.
