Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To explore the in vitro proliferative potential of human limbal epithelial cells after 31 degrees C organ-culture storage and to investigate putative factors influencing it. METHODS: 185 cultures of limbal explants were carried-out either from full-thickness explants (n = 102) or from enzymatically dissociated cells (n = 83) seeded on a feeder layer of human keratocytes. Epithelial outgrowth was assessed...
