Lens forming transformations in larval Xenopus laevis induced by denatured eye-cup or its whole protein complement

Experientia. 1983 Mar 15;39(3):315-7. doi: 10.1007/BF01955324.

Abstract

Implants of lensectomized eye placed between the outer and inner cornea, denatured by ethanol treatment and implants of total protein pellets from homogenates of lensectomized eyes, induce lens-forming transformations of the outer cornea of larval Xenopus laevis.
