Table 3. Summary of labeling density of caveolin-3 in different locations of the human retina

Caveolin-3 was observed in the outer nuclear layer (ONL) and the inner limiting membrane (ILM), including the intervening layers, showing very low, low and moderate densities (M). At the peripheral part (P) IRs immunoreactivities (IRs) also occurred in the layer of the outer segments (P). At the ciliary body (CB) caveolin-3 signals could be seen in both layers with low and moderate densities. - indicates none; + indicates very low; ++ indicates low; +++ indicates moderate; ++++ indicates high; +++++ indicates very high. Following abbreviations are used: pigment epithelium (PE), outer segments (OS), outer limiting membrane (OLM), outer plexiform layer (OPL), inner nuclear layer (IPL), inner plexiform layer (INL), ganglion cells (GC), optic nerve fibers (ONF).
