Human Basement Membrane Components of Keratoconus and Normal Corneas
tern may possess fusional capacity that allows compensation for small perceived retinal size differences, but when the difference exceeds a certain level, the binocular system is unable to fuse these perceived image differences and may function as binocular inhibition resulting in a smaller binocular than monocular VER amplitude. Our results show that the binocular system may be able to compens...
متن کاملHuman basement membrane components of keratoconus and normal corneas.
Using immunofluorescence techniques, we analyzed the distribution of glycoproteins in normal and keratoconus corneas of humans. Laminin, bullous pemphigoid antigen, fibronectin, and fibrin/fibrinogen were all found in the epithelial basement membrane of normal corneas. Keratoconus corneas produced similar results, except that staining for fibrin/fibrinogen was weak. Fibrin/fibrinogen was absent...
متن کاملDetection of specific collagen types in normal and keratoconus corneas.
Keratoconus is a corneal disease of unknown cause that involves a progressive thinning and scarring of the corneal connective tissue. We examined normal human and keratoconus corneas, including one healed penetrating keratoplasty specimen. Organ cell cultures of normal and keratoconus corneal specimens were labeled with radioactive proline and analyzed by CM-cellulose chromatography and slab ge...
متن کاملSubclinical keratoconus and inflammatory molecules from tears.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Tissue degradation in corneal thinning disorders, such as keratoconus (KC), involves the expression of inflammatory mediators. The purpose of this study was to determine the levels of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) in tears from both eyes of unilateral keratoconus (KC) patients. METHODS Thirty patients diagnosed as having asymmetrical KC (30 K...
متن کاملMolecular changes in selected epithelial proteins in human keratoconus corneas compared to normal corneas.
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to determine molecular changes in selected epithelial proteins in human keratoconus (KC) corneas compared to normal corneas. METHODS Two-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoretic profiles of epithelial cell proteins from normal and keratoconus corneas were compared, and the selected protein spots that showed either up- or downregulation were identified. The de...
