[Localization of extracellular matrix in human trabecular tissues].
Trabecular tissues taken from seven normal human eyes were subjected to this study. Localization of various types of collagen I, III, IV, V, VI, proteoglycan, laminin, fibronectin, elastin and thrombospondin in the human trabecular meshwork was investigated using immunohistochemical methods. The study revealed the presence and localization of the collagen types I, III, IV, V, VI, proteoglycan, laminin, fibronectin, elastin, and thrombospondin in the trabecular meshwork.
