Localization of the Stress Proteins aB-Crystallin and Trabecular Meshwork Inducible Glucocorticoid Response Protein in Normal and Glaucomatous Trabecular Meshwork

RESULTS. In normal eyes, labeling for aB-crystallin occurred in the subendothelial region of Schlemm's canal and outer corneoscleral regions, whereas TIGR labeling was found in the inner uveal meshwork region and the anterior portion of the meshwork. In contrast, in many glaucomatous eyes, labeling for aB-crystallin and TIGR occurred in more regions of the meshwork and appeared more intense than in normal eyes, regardless of the type or clinical severity of glaucoma.
