FIGURE 7.
Density of keratocytes in the wild-type and lumican-deficient mouse stroma. (A) The density of keratocytes in the lumican-deficient mouse remained significantly elevated, compared with that in the wild-type cornea (P < 0.001). (B) Comparison of the total number of keratocytes counted, however, showed similar numbers between wild-type and lumican-deficient corneas within the optical volume counted, unadjusted for stromal thickness.
