TL;DR
Vervet monkeys given horseradish peroxidase intravenously penetrated the capillary walls of the ciliary processes and “filled” the stroma and the intercellular spaces as far as the basal junctional complex of the superficial epithelial cells.
Abstract
Vervet monkeys were given horseradish peroxidase intravenously. Subsequent studies with the electron microscope showed:

The early stages of absorption of intravenously injected horseradish peroxidase in proximal tubules of mouse kidney were studied with a new ultrastructural cytochemical technique, which gives sharp localization and is sensitive to protein transport.

The tight junction is impervious to concentrated protein solutions and appears to function as a diffusion barrier or "seal," and the desmosome and probably also the zonula adhaerens may represent intercellular attachment devices.

It is concluded that the endothelial cell junctions are most likely to be the morphological equivalent of the small pore system proposed by physiologists for the passage of small, lipid-insoluble molecules across the endothelium.

Intradermal, intraperitoneal and intravenous injections of horseradish peroxidase solutions induce increased vascular permeability in rats and this phenomenon occurs also in the guinea pig but is minimal or non-existent in the mouse.

Investigations on the structure of horseradish peroxidase (donor: H 2 O 2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7), including its amino acid and carbohydrate composition, are described.

The study of the modifications of the junctional apparatus of the ciliary epithelium following paracentesis of the anterior chamber confirms the functional hypotheses on junctional complexes previously suggested: in particular only zonulae occludentes cause a real block of the intercellular spaces.

It was calculated that the albumin concentration in the tissue fluid of the choroid and in that of the anterior uvea as a whole is more than tenfold the album in concentrate in the aqueous humour and that thealbumin drainage with the aQueous humour can account for less than 10 per cent of the albumIn drainage from the eye.

The capillaries have a continuous endothelium without fenestrae, and a rather thick basement membrane is present, similar to what is found in the human iris.

It is concluded that conclusions about the size of functional pores based on the known molecular weight (40000 daltons) are permitted, when the enzyme is used in permeability studies.

The conclusion is drawn that the ciliary epithelium functions as a barrier to the molecules of the solutes in question, and that it may also have this function in vivo with regard to molecules of similar size.
