IL-11Rα is significantly increased in human vitreous samples. (A) Experimental setup: Following vitrectomy, undiluted vitreous and plasma samples were centrifuged and the supernatants were frozen until ELISA was performed. (B) Interleaved box and whiskers visualizing the protein levels of IL-11 (N=15) and IL-11Rα (N=16) in vitreous and corresponding plasma samples in control (macular pucker) and PDR (proliferative diabetic retinopathy) group, as measured by ELISA. The whiskers represent the minimum and maximum values while the line in between represents the median value. Statistical testing: Mann Whitney test. *p<0.001
