Figure 7. Compromised re-epithelialization of the corneal epithelium in L7M1 mice.

( A ) H&E- stained cross sections of the WT and L7M1 mouse corneas 24 and 48 hours after mechanical debridement. (Scale bar, 100 µ) ( B ) The central corneal epithelial thickness was measured in uninjured corneas and at 24 and 48 hours after debridement. Data are mean ± SEM. (n = 4 WT; n = 5 L7M1), *p = 0.002; **p = 0.006.
