Barros JFF, Sant’Ana AMS, Dias LC, Murashima AAB, Silva LECMD, Fantucci MZ, Rocha EM (2022) Comparison of the effects of corneal and lacrimal gland denervation on the lacrimal functional unit of rats. Arq Bras Oftalmol 85(1):59-67. doi: 10.5935/0004-2749.20220008

Summary: This study compared the changes in the lacrimal functional unit in the following two models of neurogenic dry eye syndrome: sensory denervation of the cornea versus autonomic denervation of the lacrimal gland.

Usage: Rats received 2.5 μg of 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01) directly into the left extraorbital lacrimal gland.

Related Products: 192-IgG-SAP (Cat. #IT-01)
