Retina-to-Retina Transplantation of Embryonic Donor Cells, Labelled with BrdU or Carrying a Genetic Marker
Our experimental model is the transplantation of embryonic retina to injured adult host retina (Aramant et al. 1991, in: Retinal Degenerations, CRC Press, p. 275; Seiler et al. 1991, Neuro-opthalmology 11: 263). The immature neuroblastic donor cells differentiate into the different cell types and layers found in normal retina. Distinguishing graft from host cells is often difficult; therefore, ...
متن کاملWhole-mount BrdU staining of proliferating cells by DNase treatment: application to postnatal mammalian retina.
Cell proliferation plays an important role in embryonic development, tissue repair, tissue homeostasis, and various pathological processes. Several markers have been introduced over the years that allow for direct or indirect analysis of proliferation (1–4). Tritiated thymidine ([3H]-T) was first used by Taylor (1) to analyze DNA replication and later became a popular marker for the identificat...
متن کاملTransplantation of photoreceptors to light-damaged retina.
We investigated the possibility of reconstructing light-damaged retinas by photoreceptor transplantation. The outer nuclear layer containing the photoreceptor cells was eliminated in adult albino rat retinas by exposure to constant high-level illumination. Photoreceptors for transplantation were harvested from neonatal rats using a novel isolation technique that maintained the cellular organiza...
متن کاملGyrate Atrophy of the Choroid and Retina: A Case Report
Introduction Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina is a metabolic disorder, which is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. Although gyrate atrophy is rare, it is concerning as it results in blindness. It is characterized by hyperornithinemia, retinal atrophy, leads to progressive myopia and tunnel vision,...
متن کاملA positional marker for the dorsal embryonic retina is homologous to the high-affinity laminin receptor.
In a search for determinants of positional information in the embryonic eye, we isolated two monoclonal antibodies that label strongly the dorsal part of the undifferentiated embryonic retina in mammals, bird and cold-blooded vertebrates. In the chick, the optic tectum is labeled in a corresponding fashion, the ventral tectum more heavily than the dorsal tectum. Through biochemical and molecula...
