Figure 7. Effect of short-term microbead-induced intraocular pressure elevation on the complement system in the retina of C57BL/6 mice.
Short-term (7 days) microbead-induced intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation did not produce changes in either complement component
mRNA levels (A; t test; p>0.05) or complement component 1, q subcomponent (C1q) protein (B) expression levels (ANOVA; p>0.05) in the retinas of C57BL/6 mice. mRNA and C1q protein levels are normalized to the average
level of the respective gene and C1q protein from retinas of naïve control mice (thus the naïve control group would have a
mean of 1). Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
