(Submitter supplied) PURPOSE. To determine global mRNA expression levels in the corneal and conjunctival epithelia and identify transcripts that exhibit preferential tissue expression. METHODS. cDNA samples derived from human conjunctival and corneal epithelia were hybridized in three independent experiments to a commercial oligonucleotide array representing > 22,000 transcripts. The resulting signal intensities and transcript present/absent calls by the primary microarray analyzing software were used in conjunction with a statistical method to identify transcripts that are preferentially or exclusively (transcripts absent in all three replicates in the other tissue) and significantly (expression >1% of the ß-actin level) expressed in one of the two tissues. more...

Analysis of conjunctival (Cnj) and corneal (Co) epithelia, the main cellular components of the ocular surface. Cnj and Co epithelia are embryologically related but phenotypically and functionally disparate. Results provide insight into the molecular basis of these differences.
