Effect of γ-interferon on Fibroblast Proliferation and Collagen Synthesis after Glaucoma Filtering Surgery in White Rabbits

Failure of a glaucoma filtering operation mainly results from scarring at the filtering wound, and postoperative proliferation and migration of fibroblasts play an important role histologically in the formation of scar tissue. As an inhibitory agent for fibroblast proliferation, γ-interferon has been introduced, and the application of γ-interferon following filtering surgery is now being made on a trial basis.
