Purpose To investigate the expression of intercellular adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and Mac-1，in epiretinal membanes (ERM) of eyes wi th proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)． Methods Twenty epiretinal membranes were obtained from eyes undergone vitrectomy for retinal detachment complicated with PVR and observed by immunohistochemical examination． Results Expressions of ICMA-1 and Mac-1 were observed in 18 and 15 membranes respectively．Expression of both adhesion molecules in 12 membranes． Conclusion The findings indicate that adhesion molecules might be involved in the development of PVR． (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2000，16：71-138)
