[Langerhans cells and corneal neovascularization in experimental alkali burns].
Experimental alkali-burns rabbit corneas present a neovascularisation. Six weeks later the corneas have been processed for ATPase Cytochemistry, allowing the observation of Langerhans cells. We observed an increase in the number of Langerhans cells that was statistically significant in alkali-burned corneas when compared to unburned corneas in the peripheral and midperipheral cornea.
