Figure Legend:
Expression of K12, K19, and K15 in a Saltzmann’s nodular degeneration patient. (A) Presurgical slit micrograph of the
pannus extending from the inferior nasal quadrant of the right eye. Hematoxylin-eosin–stained (C) and immunostained
(D–F) images of the area corresponding to the boxed region in (B). Serial sections were double stained for K12 (green,
negative) and K15 (red) (D), K12 (green, negative) and K19 (red) (E), or K19 (green) and K15 (green) (F). Both the
conjunctival phenotype K15bas/K19bas-sup/K12− and limbal phenotype K15bas-sup/K19bas-sup/K12sup (D–F, boxes) were
observed in this tissue. Scale bar, 50 μm.
