Abstract:
Autologous pieces of rabbit conjuntival stroma were implanted into the vitreous cavity of the fellow eye. The eyes were observed at intervals of several days and were enucleated at different times for histologic examination with flat preparation method. The conjuntival stromal cells were transformed into fibroblasts during the first 72 postoperative hours. The cells composing the proliferations included fibroblast and occasional cuboidal to ovoid cells with eosinophilic cytoplasm containing occasional pigment granules. This study showed that vitreous cavity acted as a media for "in vivo" culture of the autologous tissue and also provided a scaffold for intraocular proliferation of the autologous conjuntival stroma.
