Abstract

Corneal transplantation is the most common form of organ transplantation worldwide. Transplant survival depends on various factors, many of which are not fully understood. Due to the existence of many genetically defined strains, mouse models of corneal transplantation are most commonly used. Here, we describe a method for a mouse corneal transplantation.

Keywords: Corneal transplant; Inflammation; Mouse; Vascularized.
