Abstract
Eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) has been identified in tears and con junctiva of patients with ocular allergy and may play a pathophysiolog ic role in the development of associated corneal disease. The objectiv e of the current study was to investigate the effect of ECP on corneal epithelial resurfacing after wounding in organ-cultured rat corneas.
