The human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is a potential target tissue for directed transfer of candidate genes to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The RPE is uniquely suited to gene therapy protocols that use liposome-mediated DNA transfer because of its high intrinsic phagocytic func

We cultured retinal pigment epitheinactivation curve tended to be less in cultured RPE lial (RPE) cells dissociated from adult newt eye and cells than in neurons, and the half-inactivation voltage analyzed their voltage-gated ion channels during culwas about 054 mV for the RPE cells and 045 mV for t
The eye is considered an immunologically privileged organ and is separated from the rest of the body by blood-ocular barriers. Part of the blood-retina barrier consists of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In addition to the physical barrier which the monolayer of RPE cells forms, these cells co
P50/KIR2DS molecules represent the activating form of the HLA-C-specific inhibitory NK receptors. They are characterized, in the transmembrane portion, by a charged amino acid that is involved in coupling with signal-transducing adaptor polypeptides. In this study we identified a novel p50.2/KIR2DS2
