[Retracted] The Favorable Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Treatment on the Antioxidant Protective Mechanism in the Corneal Epithelium and Renewal of Corneal Optical Properties Changed after Alkali Burns

Figure 2

The immunohistochemical detection of SOD and XOX in the corneal epithelium in injured and stem cell treated corneas on day 15 after the injury. In BM-MSCs treated corneas (c, d) and LSCs treated corneas (g, h), expressions of SOD and XOX are relatively high and balanced, similar to the control corneas (i, j). In contrast, in Ad-MSCs treated corneas (e, f) and Nano-treated corneas (a, b) the expressions of SOD are decreased compared to controls (i). Scale bars: 50 μm.
