Inflammatory cytokines are not produced in response to DS in the cornea and conjunctiva of CCR6KO and CXCR3KO CD4⁺ T cell recipient mice.

<p>Wild-type (WT), CCR6KO, or CXCR3KO CD4⁺ T cells from NS or DS5 mice were adoptively transferred to T cell deficient RAG1KO mice. mRNA analysis for inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) was performed on the corneal (A) and conjunctival (B) tissues of CD4⁺ T cell RAG1KO recipient mice. Mean±SD of transcript levels of corneal and conjunctival tissues. Results represent the mean±SD expression of 2-3 animals per strain/time point per experiment in two independent experiments for a total of 5-6 mice. *, P<0.05, **, P<0.001, ***, P<0.0001.
