Suppression of In Vivo Neovascularization by the Loss of TRPV1 in Mouse Cornea

Figure 6

Inflammatory cells in centrally cauterized cornea of WT and KO mice. (a) Immunohistochemistry detected F4/80 labeled macrophages (arrows) beneath the epithelium in the central cornea of both WT (A) and KO (B) corneas at day 7. There is no difference in mRNA expression of myeloperoxidase (MPO), a neutrophil marker (b), and F4/80 macrophage antigen (c) between wild-type (WT) and TRPV1-null (KO) corneas at day 3 after cauterization. n.s.: not significant, bar, 50 μm.
