Corneal endothelium: a modified method for cultivation.
A modified method for establishing cultures of rabbit corneal cells is described. The new technique utilized a Lucite disc in combination with a Tygon ring for growth of pure cell cultures and was compared with an explant method for growing cells. Each method provided adequate cell cultures for biochemical or ultrastructure studies of rabbit corneal cells, but the ring and disc method described here allowed the isolation of specific cell types without the interference of stromal cell contamination.
