Table 3. Morphological features and distribution of positive cells in the murine cornea.

Pheuotype	Morphology	Proportions	Distribution
MHC-II+ cells or CDllc+ cells	dendritic appearance with a small cell body but many long dendrites	about two thirds	distributed at the limbus, peripheral and paracentral cornea, but undetectable in the central area
	round or irregular shapes with a large cell body and a few short dendrites	about one third	throughout the cornea in a decreasing cell density from the limbus toward the center
F4/80+ cells, B7-1+ cells or B7-2+ cells	round, oblong or irregular in appearance, with a large cell body and a few short dendrites	majority	throughout the cornea with different sliapes in different areas
	dendriform in appearance	minority	difficult to address their distribution
OVA+ cells	round, oblong or irregular shapes	all	throughout the cornea with a decreasing density from peripheral to central parts

Morphological features and distribution of labeled cells in the murine cornea at 24 h after intravitreal injection of fluorophore-conjugated reagents were observed using confocal fluorescence microscopy. The corneas were examined at medium-power magnification (400X).
