Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression of orbital fibroblasts in TED patients and controls. (A) Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that the IGF-1R content of orbital fibroblasts was 21.7% in control patients (II) and 80.8% in TED patients (IV), respectively, while (I) and (III) were negative controls. (B) A representative confocal picture showing elevated IGF-1R expression in the orbital fibroblasts from TED patients compared to that of controls
