Fig. 1From: Immunological consequences of compromised ocular immune privilege accelerate retinal degeneration in retinitis pigmentosaT cell mediated response to retinal antigens. Cytokine secretion profiles of mononuclear cells upon stimulation. Classically anti-inflammatory response is elicited against self-antigens, however RP patients displayed significantly lower anti-inflammatory TGF-B1 (D) and slightly reduced IL10 (C) cytokine response to retinal antigens. While IL4 (A), IFNg (B) levels were non-significant. RP n = 40, healthy n = 30Back to article page
