Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: By serial transfer of rabbit corneal epithelial cells, the spontaneous RCE1 cell line was previously established. These cells mimic the stage-dependent differentiation of the corresponding cell type. METHODS: RCE1 cells were cultured either on plastic culture dishes or on collagen rafts to compare the epithelial ultrastructure after growth on these substrata. Phenotypic variability was studied after...
