Abstract
The effect of the inhibitory epidermal pentapeptide (EPP) on regeneration of rat corneal epithelium was studied over a 24-h period after removal of the central part of the corneal epithelium by means of n-heptanol and scraping. Both unphosphorylated and phosphorylated EPP inhibited the mitotic rate and the formation of new cells to the same extent. Thus, the mitosis inhibitor that originally was isolated from mouse epidermis, acts even on the ectodermally derived corneal epithelial cells.
