Abstract excerpt
Immunochemical techniques were used to determine whether cells of the avascular corneal stroma (keratocytes) have the ability to synthesize thrombo- spondin 1 (TSP1), a glycoprotein originally described in platelets and more recently implicated in regulating cell behavior (e.g., migration) during wound repair in vascular tissue. Immunoprecipitation experiments with metabolically labeled cells showed that bovine...
