Neutropenic mice exhibit reduced corneal fibrosis.

<p>Corneal wounds were carried out in untreated mice (Wound-Ctrl, green), and in mice made neutropenic by injection of anti-Ly6G antibody, as described in Materials and methods (Wound NP, orange). (<b>A</b>) Scar area (n = 6) and expression for fibrotic genes (<b>B,C,D</b>) were assessed at 2 weeks as described in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0171712#pone.0171712.g005" target="_blank">Fig 5</a>.
