Table 3. Lectin staining in paraffin sections
This table summarizes the fungal staining obtained with different lectins at several concentrations on paraffin embedded corneal tissue Treatment with trypsine (tr) is indicated. "++" denotes bright staining; "+" denotes moderate staining; "+/-" denotes uneven staining; "-" denotes background staining. Overall, the identification of fungi was more difficult than on cryosections.
