Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine the effects of overexpression of mutated BIGH3 in HeLa and human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells. METHODS: Six mutations known to be responsible for autosomal dominant corneal dystrophies linked to chromosome 5 were generated in a BIGH3 expression vector and transfected in HeLa and HCE cells. The expression and secretion of the various BIGH3-EGFP fusion proteins were measured by Western blot...
