Description
Rabbits have become a valuable experimental model for some of the following reasons. They are phylogenetically closer to primates than rodents and offer a more diverse genetic background than inbred and outbred rodent strains. In addition, rabbit genomics and proteomics have recently advanced with several transgenic lines that are characterized and readily available. The aqueous humor is a clear, water-like fluid that occupies the space between the lens and the cornea and it is secreted by the ciliary processes
