Mean ± standard deviation of fluorescent intensity measurements in corneal and Conjunctival epithelia stained for CD25, CD122, MMP-9 in nonstressed (NS) C57BL/6 (A) or BKO and WT (B) and mice subjected for desiccating stress for 5 days (DS5). A separate group of DS5 mice were topically treated with doxycycline (DS5+Doxy) (C) Mean ± standard deviation of fluorescent intensity measurements in corneal and conjunctival epithelia stained for Fas-L in nonstressed (NS) C57BL/6 mice (B6-NS), desiccating stressed C57BL/6 mice for 5 days (B6-DS5), NS C57BL/6 mice treated with bovine serum albumin (injection control, B6-NS+BSA) or IL-2 subconjunctival injections (B6-NS+IL-2), CD25 knock-out mice (CD25KO-NS). *P < 0.05; ** = P < 0.01; *** = P < 0.001.
