Myo/Nog cells in anterior lens tissue are immunoreactive for proteins found in skeletal muscle and lens tissue.

Anterior lens tissue was fixed within 10 minutes of capsulorhexis and double labeled with G8 and other antibodies (Ab) and species and subclass specific fluorescent secondary antibodies. % Ab Positive = number of fluorescent cells ÷ total number of cells in 20 fields X 100. % Ab Positive with G8 = number of antibody positive cells co-labeled with G8 ÷ total antibody positive cells X 100. Percent G8 Positive Cells with Other Ab = number of G8 positive cells co-labeled with the other antibody ÷ total number of G8 positive cells X 100. Four cultures were scored for each pair of antibodies except G8+ Noggin (n = 9) and G8+ α-SMA (n = 10).
