Abstract

IL-4 has been shown to have anti-tumoural activity in many cell lines. IL-4 needs to bind with IL-4 Receptor to exert its action. Down-regulation of IL-4 associated gp200- MR6 expression has been associated with increasingly malignant tissues. Fifty-one pterygium and forty-one superior bulbar conjunctiva tissues from patients with pterygium, along with fourteen conjunctiva samples from pterygium-free subjects are subjected to immunohistochemical analysis to detennined the expression of IL-4, IL-4 receptor and IL-4 receptor associated gp200-MR6 molecule.
