Evaluation of epithelial cell markers in control human native corneas (CTR-C), control human native scleral limbi (CTR-L), and human artificial corneas (HAC) using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Three samples were analyzed per type of tissue (n = 3). PCK, human cytokeratin cocktail pancytokeratin; AE1/AE3, human cytokeratin cocktail AE1/AE3; KRT5, cytokeratin 5; CRYλ, crystallin λ; CRYαa, crystallin alpha a; CX43, connexin 43; TJP1, tight junction protein 1. Higher magnification inserts at the bottom of the image correspond to the areas highlighted with dotted red squares in the HAC tissues. Scale bars: 50 μm
