Tear cytokines as potential markers of inflammation in feline conjunctivitis
The results demonstrated a significant elevation in the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in the tears of cats with conjunctivitis, suggesting that these cytokines are involved in the inflammatory response of feline conjunctivitis. These findings could pave the way for new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, focusing on cytokine modulation, to manage feline conjunctivitis more effectively.
