C57BL/6 mice lacking Muc1 show no ocular surface phenotype.

Investigative ophthalmology & visual science - 1 Dec 2000

Danjo Y, Hazlett L D, Gipson I K

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To test the hypothesis that a membrane-spanning mucin, Muc1, facilitates the spread of tear film and protects against bacterial adherence. METHODS: Age-matched, Muc1 null mice and wild-type mice of C57BL/6 genetic background were used for comparison. Eyes were examined by slit lamp biomicroscopy with fluorescein solution to assess epithelial damage and tear film stability. Structure of the ocular surface...
