Fig. 3. Müller glia and all of the major neuronal classes except bipolar cells
(see Fig. 4) are present in the
Chx10, Kip1 double null retinas at P19. Each cell type in the double
null retina was found to have normal gross morphology and to be located in the
appropriate layers, in comparison with wild type. By contrast, although all of
these cell types are present in Chx10-null retinas, they lack normal
morphology and organization. (A-D) Recoverin staining of photoreceptors in the
outer nuclear layer. (E-H) Calbindin staining of horizontal and amacrine cells
in the INL, and displaced amacrine and ganglion cells in the GCL.(I-L) CRALBP
staining of Müller glia, which span the retina vertically. (M-P)
Calretinin staining of AII amacrine cells in the INL and displaced AII
amacrines in the GCL. (Q-T) ChAT staining of starburst amacrine cells in the
INL and displaced starburst amacrines in the GCL. Scale bar: 50 µm.
