Caption | Lymphangiogenesis and severity of herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis and suture-induced inflammatory lymphangiogenesis is reduced in Lgals8tm1(KOMP)Vlcg/Lgals8tm1(KOMP)Vlcg (Gal-8 KO) mice. Wild-type (WT) (N = 13) and mutant (N = 8) mouse corneas were scarified and infected with 1 X 106 pfu of HSV-1. The progression of HSV keratitis was assessed by corneal opacity scores on day 3, 6 and 8 post infection (c). Representative photomicrographs of eyes on day 8 post infection are shown in the right panel. After 8 day post infection, the corneal flat mounts were stained with anti-LYVE-1 and lymphatic vessel areas were quantified (d). Representative fluorescence images are shown in the right panel. (e) Suture-induced inflammatory lymphangiogenesis is reduced in mutant mice. Sutures were placed 2 mm above the limbal vessel in the corneas of WT (N = 9) and mutant (N = 9) mice. After 7 day post-surgery, the corneal flat mounts were stained with anti-LYVE-1 and lymphatic vessel areas were quantified. Representative fluorescence images are shown in the right panel. Data are plotted as mean s.e.m. and analysed using Student's t-test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 versus PBS (b) or WT (c,d,e). Scale bars: 800 um (b,d); 200 um (e). | ||||||
