Plasma C-C Chemokine Concentrations in Intermediate Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Purpose: To determine the relationship between plasma concentrations of the C-C chemokines CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, and CCL5 and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD) patients compared with control inidividuals to further define the inflammatory pathways associated with age-related macular d...
