Fig. 2. Exogenous expression of WT Cx50 has no effect on lens transparency and structure.

A Embryonic day 20 lenses with or without injection of recombinant retrovirus containing vehicle or Cx50 were imaged with (right panels) or without grids (left panels). Scale bar: 400 µm. B Paraffin lens sections were stained with H&E. Images of midsagittal paraffin tissue sections of lenses injected with a retrovirus containing vehicle or Cx50 were captured with a Keyence BZ-X710 microscope. As indicated by black framed boxes in the entire lens: (a, e, and i) lens equator region; (b, f, and j) lens anterior region; (c, g, and k) lens central region; (d, h, and l) lens posterior region. Scale bar: 50 µm.
