Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To characterize dendritic cells (DC) in normal human corneal epithelium. METHODS: Normal human donor corneal epithelium was examined by fluorescence microscopy with single and double staining for multiple markers. Morphologic studies were also performed by confocal microscopy. HLA-DRa, CD1c, and CD16 mRNA expression in the corneal epithelium was examined by RT-PCR. CD45+ cells were separated from the...
