Five corneal specimens were obtained from five patients with viral keratitis undergoing perforating corneal transplantation. Samples were formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) immediatly after surgery. Following routine histological staining, the histological diagnosis for each specimen was determined by two experienced ophthalmic pathologists. The 3'-RNA-sequencing method MACE was applied as described in Boneva et al. (2020).
