Abstract

Influence of intravitreal injection of vascular endothelial growth factor A inhibitor (VEGF-A) for aged-related macular degeneration treatment on tear fluid immune status, which was evaluated by multiplex analysis with assay of BasicFGF, Eotaxin, G-CSF, GM-CSF, INF-γ, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17A, IL-1β, IL-1ra, IL- 2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, PDGF-BB, RANTES, TNF- a, VEGF was studied. The study showed that given treatment result in a significant decrease in BasicFGF, Eotaxin, IL-13, TNF-α levels in tear fluid in one month.
