THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR CORNEAL LESION.

摘要

A therapeutic agent for corneal lesion, containing lactoferrin and/or lactoperoxidase as the active ingredient. Lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase are proteins contained in the milk and tear of man, bovine, etc., and having an antibacterial activity and a pharmacological activity such as promotion of the growth of lymphocites. However they have been scarcely applied to the ophthalmological field. The invention is based on the finding that they have a new pharmacological activity applicable to this field and are useful as a therapeutic agent for corneal lesion, because they have an excellent activity of promoting the growth of corneal parenchymal cells.
