Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh). 1993 Aug;71(4):548-51. doi: 10.1111/j.1755-3768.1993.tb04634.x.

Abstract

Three patients with granular corneal dystrophy Groenouw type I underwent corneal grafting, and cryostat sections of the corneal buttons were examined immunohistochemically for immunoglobulins. Positive results were obtained for IgG, Kappa-, and Lambda chains with immunofluorescence technique. The reactions were seen exclusively in the same localizations as the Masson trichrome positive deposits.
