Abstract

A rapid and simple enzyme histochemical staining technique has been developed to detect corneal nerves in whole-thickness stroma and epithelial sheets. This technique identifies nerve fibers by their ectoenzyme ADPase markers. Because histologic sectioning is not required, a three-dimensional study of penetrating stromal nerves, basal epithelial fibers, and ascending nerve terminals is possible. Corneas from humans, rabbits, rats, and mice have been successfully stained by this method. (The J Histotechnol 1 1: 33, 1988.) © 1988 Maney Publishing.
