The study of pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) combined with macrophage conditioned medium (MCM) could synergetically protect retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) survival and promote axonal regeneration of RGCs purpose, by macrophages and yeast polysaccharide and preparation of culture cell slide and MCM cell of experimental method, draw a conclusion, separate application PEDF cannot protect cultured RGCs survival and axonal regeneration promotion, MCM can protect RGCs survival and promotes axonal regeneration, and PEDF can be synergistic protective RGCs survival and promotes axonal regeneration.
