Immunolocalisation of β-crystallin in Sommerring’s ring 2.7 years postoperatively (case 12). (A) Enlarged/elongated lens cells forming the Sommerring’s ring structure are immunostained for β-crystallin, whereas monolayered epithelial-shaped lens cells are unstained; (B) and (C) are the high magnification pictures of boxed areas b and c, respectively. Asterisks in (B) show immunostained enlarged/elongated cells reactive for fibre specific β-crystallin. Arrows in (C) show a monolayer of unstained lens cells. Indirect immunostaining. Bar, 60 μm (A); 20 μm (B and C).
