Immunochemical detection of glycated beta- and gamma-crystallins in lens and their circulating autoantibodies (IgG) in streptozocin induced diabetic rat.
PURPOSE: This study used an immunochemical approach aimed to detect the glycated crystallins (beta- and gamma-crystallin) in rat lens and their circulating specific autoantibodies in serum during the course of cataractogenesis. METHODS: Streptozocin (STZ;..... Read More
