Abstract excerpt
In this study a technique for determining donor cell fate following corneal grafting was evaluated. Patients treated for limbal deficiency with allogeneic cultured corneal epithelial cells were studied to determine the fate of the grafted cells. The technique was evaluated initially through the use of donor eyes and then applied to the clinical analysis of 7 patients who had received a cultured corneal epithelial...
