Fate of endothelium in corneal homografts. An experimental study.

STUDIES of the fate of donor tissues in transparent and opaque corneal grafts and especially of the endothelium in penetrating grafts have been published by Basu and Ormsby (1960), Espirtu, Kara, and Tabowitz (1961), Polack and Smelser (1962), Polack, Smelser, and Rose (1964), and Chi, Teng, and Katzin (1965). In the course of our work, a modified technique for sex chromatin staining has also been evolved, which gives better and more consistent results than those of techniques previously described (Culling, 1966).
