NFKB1 and Schnyder corneal dystrophy: Control experiments were performed to establish that storage and shipment of blood does not affect the expression in iNKT cells of p-NF-κB or the A2AR. We found that p-NF-κB and A2AR immunoreactivity are both elevated in iNKT cells of SCD patients during acute pVOC (Figure 2, C and D).
