Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To determine putative limbal epithelial stem cell marker expression in human limbal dermoids compared to stem cell niches in normal limbus and hair follicles of normal human dermis.

Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin embedded specimens using automated and manual immunostaining with...
