Genetic modulation of donor tissue before corneal transplantation may have the potential to modulate alloimmunity and/or to prevent corneal endothelial cell death. This study was conducted to optimize adenovirus-mediated gene transfer to donor corneal endothelium and to delineate the kinetics of marker gene expression in syngeneic and allogeneic corneal grafts.
