The concentration of IL-1β protein in vitreous samples.

<p>The concentrations of IL-1β in nAMD, PCV, RVO, PDR, Eales' disease and idiopathic macular epiretinal membrane patients vitreous samples were measured by ELISAs. The concentration of IL-1β was 4.20±0.5 pg/ml in PCV vitreous samples and 1.98±0.49 pg/ml in nAMD vitreous samples and 1.55±0.43 pg/ml in Eales’ disease vitreous samples and 1.60±0.09 pg/ml in RVO vitreous samples, which were markedly elevated when compared with control group (0.41±0.19 pg/ml; p<0.05) (mean±SEM).
