Abstract
Dysfunction of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a major component of many degenerative disorders of the retina. We have developed a modified pars plana technique for subretinal implantation of homologous, cultured, carbon-loaded RPE cells in the rabbit. The natural history and morphologic behavior of the implanted RPE cells for up to 6 weeks after transplantation were observed in successful procedures.Entities:
