Quantitative assessment of cynomolgus monkey trabecular cell phagocytosis and adsorption.
A simple double fluorescence technique is described which allows quantification of cynomolgus monkey trabecular cell phagocytosis and adsorption. Within the first hour of exposure, significant adsorbance and minimal phagocytosis of polystyrene beads was observed. Peak internalization occurred at six hours after increasing linearly at a rate of 20% of maximum per hour; adsorbance was constant and minimal.
