Native cornea 3.46±0.18 223.0±19.1
Triton® X-100 2.32±0.28* 169.9±8.33*
SDS 1.16±0.21* 38.6±3.01*
UHP/10 °C 0.12±0.02* 201.3±10.1

The DNA and GAG content of the corneas decellularized by various methods were measured. These results indicate that only the corneas treated with UHP lost cells without losing GAG-collagen interactions. Data are expressed as the mean±SD; n=5 in each group. The asterisk indicates a p<0.05.
