Figure 2

Penetrance of topically applied HGF in LPS-induced keratitis. Keratitis was induced by corneal injection of LPS on day 1 and day 4. (A) Representative images (Left) and cumulative bar chart (Right) quantifying corneal epitheliopathy in LPS-treated corneas, compared to naïve controls. (B) Following the second intrastromal injection of LPS, corneas were treated with his-tagged HGF thrice a day. Cross-sections of corneas, harvested 24 h post HGF treatment, were stained with anti-His-tag antibody (green) to evaluate the penetrance of exogenously administered HGF into the corneal stroma (Scale bars, 100 μm). Representative data from three independent experiments are shown, and each experiment consisted of three to four animals. Data presented are mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
