Efficiency of transduction of human corneal endothelium by AdV encoding eGFP
| AdV dose (MOI)* | No | pfu Adv per cornea | Donor age† (years) | Storage time†‡ (days) | Endothelial cell density†§ (cells/mm2) | % eGFP+ cells per cornea†§ | Transductionfailures¶ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *MOI: multiplicity of infection; †Mean (SD); ‡Time in cold storage from enucleation until transduction; §As calculated from five central fields (0.15 mm2) on corneal flat mounts by fluorescence microscopy; ¶Transduction failures: fewer than 2% eGFP positive cells/cornea; **p<0.01 compared to very high dose group; ††p<0.05 compared to low and no dose groups. | |||||||
