Clusters of Corneal Epithelial Cells Reside Ectopically in Human Conjunctival Epithelium
24 Mar 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The ocular surface is covered by two biologically distinct epithelia: corneal and conjunctival. The expression of keratin12 (K12) is currently considered a hallmark of cornea-type differentiation. In the current study, the biological features of K12-positive cells in human bulbar conjunctival epithelium were examined. METHODS: Human conjunctival tissues were subjected to investigate the K12-positive...
