Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To examine whether trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons in tissue culture influence expression of Type VII collagen (a major component of the anchoring fibrils involved in the attachment of the epithelium to the underlying stroma) by cultured corneal epithelial cells. METHODS: A two-chambered coculture system was used. Fetal rabbit TG neurons were cultured into a central chamber on collagen- or...
