abstract：BACKGROUND:Xenogeneic corneal fragments (guinea pig) are highly resistant to immune rejection in the anterior chamber of mouse eyes. Because guinea pigs and mice are discordant (i.e., mouse serum normally contains guinea pig reactive xenoantibodies), we wished to determine the extent to which xenogeneic corneal fragmen...
