Stability of RNA from the retina and retinal pigment epithelium in a porcine model simulating human eye bank conditions.

abstract：PURPOSE:To test whether triamcinolone acetonide (TA) inhibits angiogenesis induced by IL-6 or VEGF and whether this inhibition is through antagonism of the IL-6 or the VEGF receptor 2. METHODS:A rat cornea micropocket assay was used to initiate IL-6- and VEGF-mediated angiogenesis. The ability of TA or neutralizing VE...
