Table 3. Summary of positive and negative results of all markers
Below is a list of all molecular markers used along with the total number of corneas evaluated for each marker and the results seen in unwounded and wounded cornea for each given preparation method, in either cross-section or flat mount. In the table, "TM" indicates trabecular meshwork.
