We performed serial studies of serologic markers of human immunodeficiency virus infection in the cornea recipients and assayed reverse transcriptase levels of their mixed lymphocyte cultures. The four cornea transplant recipients were followed up for 130, 152, 397, and 440 days, respectively, and the results on all serologic tests and reverse transcriptase assays remain negative. %B Am J Ophthalmol %7 31943 %V 103 %P 798 - 801 %8 Jun 15 %G eng %U internal-pdf://Pepose - serologic markers HIV-4184086273/Pepose - serologic markers HIV.pdf %N 6 %M 3296763
