Marked decline of AQP11 protein expression in ERU retinas, scale bars = 20 μm. Western blot analyses demonstrated that in inflamed retinas; AQP11 abundance was reduced to one third (31 ± 33 %) of physiological quantity (*p ≤ 0.05). White bars represent quantified expression of AQP11 in control retinas (n=), grey bars of ERU retinas (n=). Entire blot strips of retinal proteins of representative control horse and ERU case beside respective bars. The blots were first incubated with anti-AQP11 antibody (lower band) and then with beta actin antibody (upper signal) for normalization
