Aqueous humor in glaucomatous eyes contains an increased level of TGF-β2
RC Tripathi, J Li, WFA Chan, BJ Tripathi - Experimental eye research, 1994 - Elsevier
By using the highly sensitive and specific technique of enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay, we investigated the presence and amount of transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2)
in samples of aqueous humor obtained from 15 patients who had a clinically established
diagnosis of advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), as well as from ten age-
matched normal human subjects undergoing cataract surgery. The total amount of TGF-β2 in
the samples of normal aqueous humor ranged from 0· 41 to 2.24 ng ml-1 (mean±SD: 1 …
