Paraffin embedded sections of human eyes were deparaffinized and rehydrated with a graded alcohol series. Immunofluorescent staining was performed with antibodies (Abs) against human von Willebrandt factor (
F3520, Sigma), human MMR (CD206, MAB2534, R&D Systems), human CD80 (ab53003 Abcam) or human ROCK1 (
sc-17794, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or ROCK2 (
sc-1851, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and identified with Alexa Fluor 488 (10μg/ml,
A-11055; Invitrogen) or 647 (10μg/ml,
A21244; Invitrogen) secondary Abs. On day 3 after laser injury, 10μm frozen sections of the posterior segment were prepared. The mouse eye sections were incubated with a rat anti-mouse F4/80 mAb (
MCA497R, AbD Serotec) or
CD11b (550282, BD Pharmingen), and subsequently with the secondary Ab. In monkey eyes, CD68 (goat pAb, sc-7082, Santa Cruz), vWF (rabbit pAb,
A0082, DAKO), ROCK1 (mouse mAb,
sc-17794, Santa Cruz) and ROCK2 (goat pAb,
sc-1851, Santa Cruz) were stained. Images were obtained with a Leica microscope.
