Human trabecular cells. I. Establishment in tissue culture and growth characteristics.

abstract：PURPOSE:Macrophages are thought to be the first line of defense in many infectious diseases and are present in high numbers in corneas with Acanthamoeba keratitis. Conjunctival macrophage depletion was performed in an animal model of Acanthamoeba infection to determine the importance of macrophages in this disease. ME...
