Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Orthotopic penetrating keratoplasty in the sheep was developed as an outbred preclinical model to allow correlation of the cellular infiltrate during graft rejection with local production of cytokine mRNA. METHODS: Penetrating corneal autografts and allografts were performed in Merino sheep. Graft outcome was followed at the slit-lamp. Corneal infiltrates were examined by immunoperoxidase staining on...
