Abstract excerpt
Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, retinal glial, and fibroblasts, three cell types believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of epiretinal membrane formation, were maintained in vitreous culture to determine the influence of vitreous on their ultrastructure and expression of cytokeratin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), vimentin, and glutamine synthetase (GS). Using a highly sensitive, preembedding...
