Abstract

The cultured cells were derived from rabbit corneal stroma by explant technique following microdissection and serial passage. The ultrastructural features of fourteenth-passage keratocytes were examined with both scanning and transmission electron microscope. The cells can be divided into activated, intermediate and old cell according to the differences in electron density and surface microvillous pattern. The morphologic characteristics of the cultured keratocytes partially resemble those shown in corneal keratocytes in vivo.
