Differentiated Expression Patterns and Phagocytic Activities of Type 1 and 2 Microglia.

abstract：Purpose:High-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) is a nonhistone DNA-binding nuclear protein released from necrotic cells, which is also secreted by activated leukocytes and acts as a primary proinflammatory cytokine. In this study, we compared vitreous HMGB1 levels in ocular sarcoidosis with those in noninflammatory vitreore...
