Roles unveiled for membrane-associated mucins at the ocular surface using a Muc4 knockout mouse model
Abstract Membrane-associated mucins (MAMs) are proposed to play critical roles at the ocular surface; however, in vivo evidence has been lacking. Here we investigate these roles by phenotyping of a Muc4 KO mouse. Histochemical analysis for expression of the beta-galactosidase transgene replacing Muc...
