Systemic frequencies of T helper 1 and T helper 17 cells in patients with age-related macular degeneration: A case-control study
Abstract Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a degenerative disease of the retina and a leading cause of irreversible vision loss. We investigated the systemic differences in the frequency of T helper (Th) 1 and Th17 cells in patients with non-exudative and exudative AMD and compared to age-ma...
