The Study of Rhesus Retinal Pigment Epithelium Cells Transplantation / 医学研究杂志

Objective To investigate the retinal pigment epithelium cells(RPE) and makeit the base of clinical application for transplantation.Methods The cultured RPE cells labeled by BrdU was injected into the host's subretinal space by external transcleral.The structure and ultrastructure of the transplanted RPE cells were observed by microscope and transmission electron microscope.Results The transplanted cells had the normal structure as the host's cells.They attached to Bruch's membrane with basal infoldings and forming microvill on the surface of the cells.Conclusion The external transcleral is a practical method for RPE transplatation.The transplanted cells can vitalize and form some normal ultrastrcture.
