Figure 4: Collagen XII regulates infiltration of CD68 lineage cells and survival of myofibroblasts in maturing wound.

Figure 4:

(A) Increased infiltration of CD68 lineage cells (red) in the wound is minimal in the WT mouse. (C) Increased infiltration of CD68 lineage cells in the wound in the absence of collagen XII is evident. (B) Minimal presence of myofibroblasts (red expression and shown by asterisk) in the maturing wound of an injured WT cornea. (D) Increased expression of α-smooth muscle actin cells (red expression) in the wound deficient in collagen XII, shown by asterisks. Bar 25 μm.
