The LacZ gene was transduced into culturedhuman IPE cells.Results: Cultured human IPE cells stained positively anticytokeratin, The titer ofrAAV-LacZ was 2.1 × 108 virus particles/ml, 42% cultured human IPE cells expressedβ-galactosidase 7 days after transfection and 67% after 14 days.Conclusions: Recombined AAV produced without helper virus can transfer a foreign geneinto human IPE cells with high efficiency in vitro.展开更多

Methods: The iris pigment epithelial cells were isolated by scraping directly or by enzyme digestion and cultured in vitro. The cells were observed under the transmission electron microscope and analized by means of immunohistochemical assay.Results: The cells obtained by scraping were easier to grow and to be passaged than those obtained by enzyme digestion. The primary cells appeared multigonal and arranged in mono-layer. Abundant pigment granules were in the cytoplasm and diminished in succeeding generations . The maculae occludentes and desmosomes and microvilli which were characteristics of epithelial cells could be found under the electronmicroscope. The immunohistochemical assay showed positive reaction of keratin antigen in cultured cells.Conclusion: The human iris pigment epithelial cells could be cultured in vitro and the cells in primary generation some characteristics be preserved.
