In vivo imaging of human cone photoreceptor inner segments.
PURPOSE An often overlooked prerequisite to cone photoreceptor gene therapy development is residual photoreceptor structure that can be rescued. While advances in adaptive optics (AO) retinal imaging have recently enabled direct visualization of individual cone and rod photoreceptors in the living human retina, these techniques largely detect strongly directionally-backscattered (waveguided) li...
متن کاملImaging cone photoreceptor inner segments in the living human eye.
Advances in high resolution imaging technology provide unique opportunities for clinicians and researchers to study the living retina. Adaptive optics (AO) are used to correct monochromatic aberrations of the eye and, when used in conjunction with a scanning light ophthalmoscope (SLO), enable visualization of the rod and cone photoreceptors. While much research has been directed toward quantify...
متن کاملMorphology of retinal photoreceptor layer in continuous light-exposed and dark-adapted male cats
The morphology of retinal photoreceptor layer was studied in continuous light-exposed and dark-adapteddomestic male cats (Felis catus). The eyes of 12 healthy adult cats (4 in continuous light-exposed group, 4 in continuous dark-adapted group, and 4 in control group) were routinely fixed and studied by electron microscope. Results showed that the general structure of photoreceptor layer in this...
متن کاملUltrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography and pancorrection for cellular imaging of the living human retina.
Cellular in vivo visualization of the three dimensional architecture of individual human foveal cone photoreceptors is demonstrated by combining ultrahigh resolution optical coherence tomography and a novel adaptive optics modality. Isotropic resolution in the order of 2-3 microm, estimated from comparison with histology, is accomplished by employing an ultrabroad bandwidth Titanium:sapphire la...
متن کاملHuman cone visual pigment deletions spare sufficient photoreceptors to warrant gene therapy.
Human X-linked blue-cone monochromacy (BCM), a disabling congenital visual disorder of cone photoreceptors, is a candidate disease for gene augmentation therapy. BCM is caused by either mutations in the red (OPN1LW) and green (OPN1MW) cone photoreceptor opsin gene array or large deletions encompassing portions of the gene array and upstream regulatory sequences that would predict a lack of red ...
