Biosynthesis of procollagens and collagens by tissue explants and matrix-free cells from embryonic chick cornea.

Tendon and cornea of 17-day-old chick embryos primarily synthesize type I collagen as the major collagenous component nd type V collagen as a minor collagenous component. Matrix-free cells isolated from cornea and tendon synthesize and secrete mainly type I procollagen. A short lag period for the secretion of collagenous polypeptides into the medium of cell suspensions is observed. There is no ...

Theory and calibration of the Schiotz tonometer. I. The boundary surface of the cornea.

T JLo -onography as developed by Grant has been useful in both laboratory and clinic in elucidating the mechanisms of aqueous dynamics and of glaucoma and in assessing drug action. Tonography is the direct outgrowth of Friedenwald's" work on calibration of the Schi0tz tonometer. The present series of papers is devoted to a re-examination of some of the basic concepts of indentation tonometry in...

Studies on the cornea. VII. Effects of perfusion with a Ca++-free medium on the corneal endothelium.

Paired isolated corneas were perfused in vitro with a modified KEI medium according to the method of Mishima and Kudo. One eye of each pair was perfused with the complete medium and the other with a Ca-free medium. Progressive corneal swelling occurred in the Ca-free medium. The swollen corneas had a greatly increased passive permeability to nontransported nonelectrolytes, suggesting a physical...
