Tissue responses following implantation of non-CXL and CXL inlays in rabbit corneas. (A) Immunohistochemistry assays of α-SMA, fibronectin, tenascin, CD11b, heat shock protein 47 (HSP47), and TUNEL 12 weeks postoperatively. Nuclei are counterstained using DAPI (blue). All images were captured at x100 magnification; scale bars represent 100 µm. (B + C) Representative hematoxylin-eosin staining images for CXL treated inlays at (B) 90 μm and (C) 120 μm depth. Original magnification: 100x. Scale bars represent 100 µm.
