Since a thorough analysis of inflammatory and apoptotic markers after blast exposure has not been reported, we chose to investigate levels of TNFα and IL-1β, both key proteins in other retinal diseases [12,13], within 4 hours, 24 hours, and 72 hours of exposure to 26 psi (≈0.18 MPa) blast. The gene discussed is IL1B; the disease is Abnormal retinal morphology.
