Isolation and characterization of fibronectin from bovine aqueous humor.

Migration of cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells to aqueous humor and constituents.

PURPOSE To investigate the migration of cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells to aqueous humor and some of its constituents, and to compare the migration of normally proliferating and growth-arrested cells. METHODS Cellular migration was evaluated in 48-well microchemoattraction chambers, and the chemoattractants used were bovine aqueous humor, glycoproteins, and growth factors. RESULTS...

Isolation and characterization of a bovine herpesvirus 3 From cases of calf pneumonia in Iran

Inhibitory effect of TGF-beta 2 in human aqueous humor on bovine lens epithelial cell proliferation.

PURPOSE To determine whether transforming growth factor-beta 2 (TGF-beta 2) in human aqueous humor inhibits the proliferation of lens epithelial cells. METHODS Bovine lens epithelial cells (BLECs) obtained from the central zone of the anterior capsule were cultured in complete medium (F-12 nutrient mixture supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum). Human aqueous humor was obtained from 11 pati...

Effect of high glucose on fibronectin expression and cell proliferation in trabecular meshwork cells.

PURPOSE Increased fibronectin accumulation in the trabecular meshwork of glaucomatous eyes may contribute to the resistance of aqueous outflow and the development of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Because the glucose level is increased in the aqueous humor of patients with diabetes, this study was conducted to determine whether a high-glucose condition alters fibronectin expression and con...

Inhibitory Effect of TGF-/32 in Human Aqueous Humor on Bovine Lens Epithelial Cell Proliferation

Methods. Bovine lens epithelial cells (BLECs) obtained from the central zone of the anterior capsule were cultured in complete medium (F-12 nutrient mixture supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum). Human aqueous humor was obtained from 11 patients during cataract surgery. Medium was removed and replaced with medium containing various concentrations of porcine platelet-derived TGF-/?2 or 10% hu...
