Figure 5. Clinical examination by
slit lamp microscopy and histopathology of corneal allografts. A:
Representative images of the corneal allograft in each
experimental group. B: Histopathological evaluation for
corneal sections using H&E staining (40×). Graft rejection
was observed in the corneal necropsy specimens of the BMT
recipients for the SEB-BMT, CYP-BMT, and NS-BMT groups by Day 21
after BMT (Day 14 after corneal transplant). Lymphocyte
infiltration and neovascularization were significantly decreased
in the SEB-BMT group compared to the CYP-BMT and NS-BMT groups.
