Abstract excerpt
Meibomian gland orifices (MGOs) are located along the eyelid margin and secrete meibum into the tear film. The profile of resident innate immune cells (ICs) at this site is not well understood. The distribution and phenotype of resident ICs around MGOs in mice was investigated and herein defined as MGO-associated immune cells (MOICs). The effect of topical 0.1% benzalkonium chloride (BAK) on MOICs was also...
