Increased Cytokine Gene Expression in Rat Retina following Transient Ischemia
11 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene expression in rat retina following transient ischemia was studied by semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Gene expression for other cytokines was also studied by RT-PCR. Although very little expression for TNF gene was detected in normal retina, it was markedly increased 0.5-48 h after reperfusion, with peak expression at 12 h (20-fold of...
