Fig. 7. Light microscopic analysis of apoptosis in normoxic human corneal epithelial cells. HCEC were cultured for 3 days in 20% oxygen. Cells in A represent the non-treated control. Cells in B were treated with function-blocking antibody to laminin 5 for 2 of those 3 days. Cells in C were treated with control IgG for 2 of those 3 days. All cells were processed for apoptosis detection using the MitoLightTM technique. Cells treated with function-blocking antibody to laminin 5 display a higher degree of apoptosis compared with untreated or IgG control cells.
