Immunohistochemical evaluation of murine HSV-1 keratouveitis.

abstract：PURPOSE:Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in posterior capsule opacification (PCO), but the mechanisms that promote MMP expression are yet to be determined. In this study, we investigated whether type I collagen, which is only detected in aged or cataractous lens capsules, affects the expression and activat...
