Abstract
We investigated the origin of fibronectin (FN) on five posterior and f our anterior chamber explanted intraocular lenses (IOLs) using immunoh istochemical methods. Cellular deposits (assumed to be macrophages) an d fibrous or membrane-like proteinaceous deposits on the IOLs showed i mmunoreactivity to an antibody against cellular FN. These proteinaceou s deposits were believed to be products of the cells that adhered to t he IOLs.
