Figure 2. The filamentous proteins vimentin and vinculin are upregulated in stromal cells following corneal injury. Transverse sections through the cornea were labeled with antibodies to vimentin (A-E) or vinculin (F-J). Corneas were harvested from control eyes (A and F) or 1 day (B and G), 4 days (C and H), 7 days (D and I) and 14 days (E and J) after injury. The calibration bar (50 µm) in J applies to all panels. Abbreviations: epi – epithelium, str – stroma, endo – endothelium.
