Abstract

The glycosaminoglycan pattern in penetrating corneal grafts in successful and unsuccessful keratoplasties was investigated in the present study. During the early period of healing a decrease in the polysaccharide content was noticed in both conditions. After 3 months of healing transparent grafts showed a normalization of their polysaccharide pattern, whereas in the nontransparent grafts a further decrease, especially of the keratan sulfate, was observed. The nontransparent grafts also contained dermatan sulfate.
