An intact complement system dampens cornea inflammation during acute primary HSV-1 infection

Abstract Corneal transparency is an essential characteristic necessary for normal vision. In response to microbial infection, the integrity of the cornea can become compromised as a result of the inflammatory response and the ensuing tissue pathology including neovascularization (NV) and collagen la...
