The present study reports on the immunohistochemical distribution of S-100 antigen in non-nervous cell types within the human eye at light microscopy. In the cornea the antigen was confined to endothelial cells covering its posterior surface; the lens exhibited immunoreactivity restricted to the epithelial cells located beneath the anterior capsule. In the iris and ciliary body, S-100 was detected in stromal cells and epithelial cells of the pigmented inner layer in the former and inner epithelial cells bounding the posterior chamber in the latter.

Abstract

The present study reports on the immunohistochemical distribution of S-100 antigen in non-nervous cell types within the human eye at light microscopy. In the cornea the antigen was confined to endothelial cells covering its posterior surface; the lens exhibited immunoreactivity restricted to the epithelial cells located beneath the anterior capsule. In the iris and ciliary body, S-100 was detected in stromal cells and epithelial cells of the pigmented inner layer in the former and inner epithelial cells bounding the posterior chamber in the latter.
