摘要:A substrain of rats with inherited cataracts was established as an inbred strain on the basis of the prominent feature that spontaneous clearing of lens opacity occurs after the completion of the cataract. The clearing of lens opacity in these rats was confirmed by the observation of the morphological changes in lens fibers by light microscopy, and supported by the findings that the contents of water, water-soluble proteins, and high molecular weight proteins returned nearly to normal levels. This strain of rats was termed the “ICRL” rat. Another substrain, which is characterized by persistent cataract, was also established as an inbred strain and termed the “ICRF” rat.
