Figure Lengend Snippet: Retinal thickness imaging captured by OCT in NC, AAV-NC, AAV-sh-fbn2, Fbn2-0.30 μg, Fbn2-0.75 μg, Fbn2-1.50 μg and Fbn2-3.0 μg group mice. ( A ). Retinal thickness was measured at 3000 μm from optic disc (inferior, nasal, temporal, and superior) ( B ).NC group: Animals without intervention. AAV-NC group: Animals with an intravitreal injection of AAV empty vector and without any further treatment. AAV-sh-fbn2 group: Animals with an intravitreal injection of AAV-sh-fbn2 and without any further treatment. Fbn2-0.30 μg group: Animals with an intravitreal injection of AAV-sh-fbn2, followed by an intravitreal injection of fbn2 recombinant protein in a dose of 0.30 μg. Fbn2-0.75 μg group: Animals with an intravitreal injection of AAV-sh-fbn2, followed by an intravitreal injection of fbn2 recombinant protein in a dose of 0.75 μg. Fbn2-1.5 μg group: Animals with an intravitreal injection of AAV-sh-fbn2, followed by an intravitreal injection of fbn2 recombinant protein in a dose of 1.50 μg. Fbn2-3.0 μg group: Animals with an intravitreal injection of AAV-sh-fbn2, followed by an intravitreal injection of fbn2 recombinant protein in a dose of 3.00 μg.
Article Snippet: Primary antibodies against FBN2 (mouse# sc-393968,1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), TGF (1:2000, Rabbit, ab215715, Abcam Co., Cambridge, MA, USA), LTBP-1 (Rabbit, 1:1000, ab78294, Abcam Co., Cambridge, MA, USA), and β-actin (dilution 1:10,000, Bioss antibodies, Beijing, China) were incubated overnight with the membranes at 4 °C.
