Impaired healing in an incision wound in corneal stroma in a lumican-null mouse.

Purpose: We investigated healing pattern of an incisional wound in corneal stroma of lumican-null (KO) mice.

Methods: C57BL/6 mice (wild-type, WT) and lumican-null (knockout, KO) mice were used. A linear full-thickness incision was produced in one cornea of each mouse.
