Table 4. Comparisons of genes expressed in MC-L and in MSC-BM cells for selected terms of gene ontology. Abbreviations: LEC – limbal epithelial cells, MC-L – Mesenchymal like cells of limbus, MSC-BM – Mesenchymal stem cells of bone marrow. All the genes are highly expressed (up) except those in brackets (down).
