Table 1. Histochemistry of CNVMs
Lectins employed in this study, their specificities, and patterns of labeling in three eyes with CNVMs are detailed in the table. Labeling of the disciform scar, basal laminar deposits (BlamD), and the CNV blood vessels is indicated. Labeling patterns are defined as follows: no labeling (-), weak, variable labeling (+/-), consistent labeling (+), and intense labeling (++). An asterisk indicates that the slide could not be assessed (Case 3 only).
