Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Chemokine signaling and monocytes/macrophages were implicated in the pathogenesis of AMD. We tested the association between chemokines involved in monocyte recruitment and AMD. METHODS: Immunophenotyping for white blood cell (WBC) populations including CD14++CD16- and CD14+CD16+ monocytes, CD19+, CD3+, and CD16+ lymphocytes, and chemokine receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR5, CX(3)CR1, and CXCR4 was performed on...
