  • Publication number: 20090232772
    Abstract: Providing is cellular aggregates derived from corneal endothelial cells that, when transplanted, readily adhere to the parenchyma of cornea and function in a manner equivalent to corneal endothelial cells, and a method of transplantation of the cellular aggregates. Cellular aggregates derived from corneal endothelial cells. The cellular aggregates derived from corneal endothelial cells is prepared by culturing human corneal endothelial cells in a medium containing fetal bovine serum, growth factor and glucose; and then float culturing the cells obtained in a medium containing growth factor. A method of transplantation into the anterior chamber the cellular aggregate or the cellular aggregate prepared by the above method, comprising inserting a tube into the parenchyma of cornea, introducing the cellular aggregate into the anterior chamber through the inserted tube, and causing the cellular aggregate that has been introduced to adhere to Descemet's membrane by assuming in a downward-facing position.
