Abstract
The unusual cell type present on the posterior corneal surface of posterior polymorphous dystrophy patients was characterized. In addition to microvilli and desmosomes, these cells contain abundant 10 nm filaments which by immunofluorescent staining consist of keratin proteins, a marker for epithelial cells.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
