Dysregulation of CXCR3 expression on peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration
PURPOSE: The chemokine receptor CXCR3 has been strongly related to inhibition of angiogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between expression of CXCR3 on peripheral blood leukocytes and age-related wet macular degeneration. Furthermore, we measured the plasma concentration of chemokines CXCL9 to -11.METHODS: The study group consisted of patients with age-related ma
