Abstract

These new ultrastructural investigations indicate that the cribriform and subendothelial regions of the porcine TM have an architecture similar to that of the primate TM. The biochemical and physiological response to TGF-beta2 was identical with that described in human TM cell culture and anterior chamber perfusion. The porcine anterior chamber perfusion model is valid for the human system.
