Abstract
Nylon 66 and polypropylene are chemotactic in human serum while PMMA from intraocular lenses is not. Chemotactic activity is unaltered by Ridley, 5 per cent NaOH, or ethylene oxide sterilization. Chemotaxis is but one manifestation of an overall inflammatory process that may be involved in implant-induced corneal and retinal dysfunction.Entities:
