Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To evaluate the potential of decellularized bovine corneas (DBCs) as a carrier matrix for cultivating and transplanting human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs). METHODS: Posterior lamellae of ten bovine corneas were decellularized using ethylene diamin tetra-acetic acid (EDTA, 0.1%), aprotinin (10 KIU/mL) and 0.3% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole...
