Effect of EGF on the anti-proliferation of cultured pterygial fibroblasts during during co-culture with M1 macrophages. (A) Representative images of Ki-67 staining of cultured pterygial fibroblasts with or without EGF treatment (10 ng/mL) during co-culture with M1 macrophages. Scale bars: 200 μm. (B) Comparison of proportion of Ki-67+ cells with or without EGF treatment (10 ng/mL) during co-culture with M1 macrophages. Analysis of variance followed by Tuckey’s post-hoc test. N = 3. **p\(\:<\)0.01, ***p\(\:<\)0.001, and ns: not significant. EGF, epidermal growth factor; PF, pterygial fibroblast.
