Phagocytosis of latex microspheres by bovine meshwork cells in culture
The ability of cultured bovine trabecular meshwork cells to phagocytose latex microspheres was studied by electron microscopy. In addition, the incorporation of125I gamma-globulin-coated microspheres by the meshw...

Map**, quantitative distribution and origin of substance P- and VIP-containing nerves in the Uvea of guinea pig eye
VIP- and substance P-like immunoreactivities were found in considerable concentrations (VIP: 17.3±4.8 pmol/g, mean ± SEM; substance P:11.1±1.8 pmol/g) in the uveal portion of the guinea pig eye.d Immunocytoche...

Shigella Endotoxin-induced ocular inflammation in the normal and sensory denervated rabbit eye
Injection of Shigella endotoxin (2 μg) into the vitreous chamber of a normal rabbit eye induces an infiltration of polymorphonuclear leucocytes, miosis, a moderately intense dilation of iris, conjunctival and lim...
