Coated vesicles in avian pars plana ciliaris

In light-induced avian glaucoma (LIAG), where the vitreous body increases to twice normal size, we found a parallel increase in both number and size of CVs in the...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	1. 1. Electron microscopy reveals abundant coated vesicles (CVs) in the non-pigmented epithelium of the avian pars plana ciliaris. 2. 2. In light-induced avian glaucoma (LIAG), where the vitreous body increases to twice normal size, we found a parallel increase in both number and size of CVs in the facing ciliary epithelium. 3. 3. It is suggested that the pars plana ciliaris facing the vitreous body may employ CVs for endocytosis of hyaluronic acid precursors, for growth or renewal of sol vitreous.
