Abstract

Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation is hypothesized to contribute to inflammatory eye disease including uveitis, yet the distribution pattern of TLRs in human uveal tissues remains poorly described. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression profile of TLRs in human iris pigment epithelial cells (IPE) at the gene and protein level and examine the effect of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), such as Pam3CSK4.3HCl, Poly(I:C), lipopolysaccharides (LPS from E. coli serotype O111:B4), Flagellin, MALP-2 (macrophage activating lipopeptide-2), Poly(U) and CpGODN2395 on the production of inflammatory mediators including interleukin-8 (IL-8) and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) from human IPE and retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE).

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 May 2015.
All research outputs
#4,370,146
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Inflammation
#43
of 425 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,528
of 241,800 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Inflammation
#2
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 425 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.9. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 241,800 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 5 of them.
