Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To demonstrate whether the original keratocyte phenotype is maintained with proliferative activity by suppressing TGF-beta signaling in rhesus monkey keratocytes expanded in a serum-free and low-[Ca2+] medium. METHODS: Rhesus monkey keratocytes were isolated from central corneal buttons by collagenase digestion for 16 hours, seeded on plastic in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) containing...
