Secretory component of IgA: a marker for differentiation of ocular epithelium.

abstract：:We describe a new technique for the separation and isolation of nonpigmented ciliary body epithelial cells from rabbit. Excised ciliary body is incubated in a medium buffered with EGTA to a free-Ca2+ concentration of 10(-8) M, and the nonpigmented cell layer is separated from the pigmented layer by microdissection und...
