Figure 3. RT–PCR analysis for crystallin genes of Cryaa, Cryab, Crybb1, Crybb2, Cryba2, and Crygd (encoding αA-, αB-, βB1-, βB2-, βA2-, and γD-crystallin), and the transcription factors Pax6 and Prox1. The lens tissue is dissected at pre-operation, 0 h, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days, 1 month, and 3 months after ECLE and is then assayed. The size of specific PCR products is shown in parentheses.
