Abstract
The aim of this work was to analyse the distribution pattern of S-100-immunoreactive elements in the upper eyelid of the sheep. This pattern may be of importance regarding the diagnosis and prognosis of eyelid tumours that are linked to deregulation of S-100 gene expression. Thirty upper eyelids taken from 15 adult male Ovis aries were studied by means of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase method for light microscopy. S-100-immunopositive cells were found in the eyelid edge. S-100-immunopositive steams and thinner fibres were found throughout the eyelid. These nerve processes typically were denser around glands, hair follicles and blood vessels. S-100-immunopositive elements may play a role as neuromodulator and also in the development of the vegetative innervation of the epithelium and its derivatives.
