摘要
Lenses of 14-week-old rats were separated into 10 layers or fractions by a frozen-sectioning technique. The biochemical characteristics of these layers were assigned to corresponding parts of the densitometric reading obtained from the Scheimpflug negative, which enables a correlation of light scattering values recorded in vivo to protein patterns in the same area. Calculated as percentage of lens dry weight, all water-soluble crystalline show minima and the water-insoluble crystallins show maxima in the lens nucleus. This demonstrates that the nucleus contains the bulk of the water-insoluble high-molecular-weight and α-crystallins, being the source for the Scheimpflug light scattering pattern. eases (EURAGE). © 1990 S.
