As can be seen above, it has been shown that cultivation of 3-D in vitro models of animal and human cornea is possible and the model resembles the in vivo cornea of the animal and human. In order to use these cornea constructs as models for in vitro drug absorption studies and alternative to the Draize test, further... [Pg.299]

S100A12 is associated with several pathological states including psoriasis (together with S100A7), inflammation, Mooren s ulcer, an autoimmune disease of the human cornea, and Kawasaki s disease, an acute multisystem vasculitits, occurring in children usually under 5 years of age (Table 2). [Pg.115]

CRITICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE METHOD Porcine cornea are similar to human cornea in that both have 5-7 layers of epithelial cells and a Bowman s membrane. Bovine cornea differs in that it has 10 layers of epithelial cells and no Bowman s membrane. Porcine and Bovine comeal cultures both differ in certain aspects from in vivo animal cornea. The latter has the presence of an overlying mucin layer... [Pg.321]

Benzalkonium chloride is used in eye-drops in concentrations of 0.033 or 0.025%. At a dilution of 1 1000 (0.1%), a drop applied to the human cornea causes mild discomfort that persists for 2 or 3 hours. Slit-lamp examination within 90 seconds shows fine grey clots (epithehal keratitis) in the corneal epithelium. Within 10 minutes, a grey haze can be seen on the comeal surface superficial desquamation of the conjunctival epithehum can follow. The superficial irritation and disturbances disappear in a day or less. [Pg.422]

Additional in vitro models and assays for eye irritation testing have been proposed in the past. An example is the porcine-based corneal opacity and permeability (PCOP) assay to predict eye irritation of water-soluble cosmetic ingredients [99]. Porcine corneas were chosen due to their advantages in comparison to the bovine corneas such as no concerns about encephalopathy diseases, regular supply of eyes with an acceptable level of quality from a slaughterhouse, more closely related to the human cornea, and their use in ophthalmic research. Using a modified holder and adapted experimental procedures 50 cosmetic ingredients were tested and compared to the in vivo Draize MAS scores. Based on their results, the study concluded that the PCOP could better predict the irritation classes than the BCOP assay. [Pg.190]

Most of the damage to the eye caused by direct irradiation from the sun or artificial sources is from ultraviolet radiation. However, in the presence of a light-activated (photosensitized) diagnostic dye or drug, patients are in danger of enhanced ocular injury from ultraviolet and visible light. The extent to which a particular photosensitizer will affect the human cornea, lens, and/or retina in vivo depends upon ... [Pg.240]

Tlie achievement of growing human corneas in the laboratoiy will impact the transplantation of damaged or impaired corneas, the studies of corneal wound healing and eye diseases, as well as the testing of household products for toxicity. [Pg.53]
