Table 4. Mean intensity of alcohol dehydrogenase immunostaining of keratocytes in keratoconus keratoplasty specimens compared to normal corneas from enucleated whole globes and Fuchs’ keratoplasty specimens.


Batch 1		 Keratoconus
(n=5)		 Normal corneas
(n=5)
p value

0.1±0.2 1.4±0.6 0.001

Batch 2		 Keratoconus
(n=10)		 Fuchs’ corneas
(n=10)
p value

0.6±0.6 1.7±1.0 0.005

Immunostaining was graded using a 0 to 3+ scale. Values are mean±standard deviation.
