Note: Fixative was 0.75% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cornea epithelium Absent 6d The authors state that the faint staining as a thin line outlining the outermost superficial layer of the epithelium is likely an artefact caused by the antibody 'sticking' to the edges of the section, since this staining was also seen in wild-type corneal sections.

Note: Fixative was 0.75% paraformaldehyde.
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS28: cornea epithelium Absent 6e The authors state that the faint staining as a thin line outlining the outermost superficial layer of the epithelium is likely an artefact caused by the antibody 'sticking' to the edges of the section, since this staining was also seen in wild-type corneal sections.
