Lacrimal androgen-binding proteins protect against Aspergillus fumigatus keratitis in mice

To clarify the regulatory mechanisms of lacrimal androgen-binding proteins (ABPs) in mice with keratitis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus). Mouse models of A. fumigatus keratitis were established. Lacrimal glands were removed after 24 h for general and histological comparison. Lacrimal ABPs were detected by qRT-PCR and quantitative proteomic analysis, or were detected by qRT-PCR after subconjunctival or lacrimal gland injection with...
