Modulation of Conjunctival Goblet Cell Function by Inflammatory Cytokines
Figure 1
Th2-type inflammatory response is increased in TSP-1 null conjunctiva. Conjunctiva tissues were collected from WT and TSP-1 null mice at 6, 8, and 12 weeks. Extracted RNA was analyzed in a real time PCR assay to determine the levels of message for the Th2 cytokine IL-13 and the Th2-associated transcription factor GATA3 *.
