| Abstract |
Keratitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus often leads to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)-dependent neovascularization, but contribution of peptidoglycan (PGN), muramyl dipeptide (MDP) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from S. aureus to VEGF-dependent neovascularization has not been well-studied. This work was focused on the analysis of S. aureus cell wall components in the production of VEGF family members (VEGF-A, VEGF-B, VEGF-C and VEGF-D) in ocular limbal fibroblasts. |
