Abstract:
Human corneal endothelial cells (HCEC) were isolated from excised corneas of adult donors in the age range of 28-70 years, and successfully grown for 10-12 passages. Moreover, one cell line, that had been established from a 45-year-old donor, was further passaged at defined split ratios in order to determine the proliferative life span of the HCEC isolated from donors of this age group.
