Abstract
Serially subcultured rat lens epithelial cells grow in different stages, which can be classified according to morphology, chromosome numbers and population kinetics. A lens-specific gamma-crystallin appears in the diploid stage, when elongated cell types are observed. One of the beta-crystallin bands (pH 5.7) disappears during aging in higher passage numbers of the diploid stage B. A weak band in the beta-crystallin region (pH 6.4), which is present in all stages, becomes very intensive in aneuploid cells of stage D, which exhibit a fibroblast-like morphology.Entities:
