We cultured retinal g[ial cells(RGC)from immature rats and observed the migratory responses to fetal bovine serum(FBS).We found thai FItS stimulats the migration of RGC in a dose response manner. We also observed the inhibition of heparin on RGC cben,otaxis,and found that heparin(10U/ml)decreased significantly the RGC migration stimulated by serum(0%to 10%)(all Plt;0.0001).but 1U/ml of heparin bad no effect on RGC chemotaxis(P=0.5118).These results showed that FBS contains chemoattractants for RGC,and heparin can inhibit RGC chemotaxis stimulated by serum. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:170-173）
