Abstract excerpt
To better define the growth requirements for corneal epithelial cells, methods for serum-free culture were established. Sheets of corneal epithelium from eyes of swine and rabbits were obtained by dispase treatment of corneal buttons, and single cells and small clumps were obtained by further dissociation with trypsin/EDTA. Growth of cells with epithelial-like morphology was readily achieved in low calcium MCDB...
