Integrin and basement membrane protein expression patterns in normal and diabetic ex vivo limbus. Integrin β1 staining is markedly reduced in the diabetic limbus, which occurs in all epithelial layers. A limbal-specific laminin γ3 chain staining is weak and discontinuous in the diabetic limbal epithelial basement membrane (arrows). This is also true for fibronectin. e, epithelium, s, stroma. Bar=30 μm.
