## Abstract Chronic exposure of the gray, short‐tailed opossum, __Monodelphis domestica__, to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) induces highly vascularized mesenchymal tumors of the cornea. Cell lines derived from these UVR‐induced corneal tumors and the corneal tumors themselves were examined for the pr
