Epithelialization of the corneal endothelium in posterior polymorphous dystrophy

M M Rodrigues et al. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 1980 Jul.

Abstract

The unusual cell type present on the posterior corneal surface of posterior polymorphous dystrophy patients has been characterized. In addition to microvilli and desmosomes, these cells contain abundant 10 nm filaments which by immunofluorescent staining were shown to consist of keratin proteins, a marker for epithelial cells.
