Abstract excerpt
Pax-6 is a regulatory gene with a major role during visual system development, but its association with corneal epithelial differentiation is not clearly established. Using the RCE1-(5T5) cell line, which mimics corneal epithelial differentiation, we analyzed Pax-6 biological role. Immunostaining of proliferating colonies and confluent sheets showed that Pax-6-positive cells were also K3 keratin-positive,...
