Cornea LESCs grown under such conditions were characterized by genome-wide microarray and immunostaining for markers of stemness (tumor/transformation-related protein 63 (p63/TP63), ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2 (ABCG2), cytokeratin (CK/KRT) 19, Vimentin (Vim) and Integrin (Itg/ITG) α9), proliferation- (Ki-67/MKI67), limbal epithelial- (CK 8/18 and 14) and differentiated corneal epithelial- (CK 3 and 12) markers [4], [22], [24]. The gene discussed is VIM; the disease is neoplasm.
