Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To use porcine lens capsule (PLC) as basement membrane for ARPE-19 cells and to characterize its effects on cell differentiation and gene expression. METHODS: Postconfluent cultures of ARPE-19 cells were established on either porous polyester filters or PLC membranes and characterized by electron microscopy, immunocytochemistry, and transepithelial electrical resistance measurements. Metabolic activity...
