Thymidine-Tritium Labeling of the Cellular Elements of the Corneal Stroma

When a corneal transplant takes, a basic problem remains as to which corneal elements are replaced following the graft. The fate of the sulfated mucopolysaccharides of the transplant has been studied by several investigators using S-35 1,2 but methods are needed to specifically label and locate individual cells in order to study the movement of the cellular elements. In recent years thymidine-tritium has been used in studying the synthesis of...
