P.E. Rakoczy and colleagues from the University of Western Australia examined the expression of cathepsin S antisense transcripts by adenovirus in RPE ("Expression of Cathepsin S Antisense Transcripts by Adenovirus in Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells," Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, October 1998;39(11):2095-2104).
