Fig. 3. Influence of VEGF on retinal ganglion cell differentiation.
(A) Effects of VEGF concentrations on development of NF+
cells in E5-E7 explants in vitro (n=5). (B) Effects of sFLK1-
and VEGF-producing cells on percentages of NF+ cells in vivo at E5.
Black and white bars represent implanted and the contralateral non-implanted
eyes, respectively (n=6; *P<0.03). (C-E)
Immunostaining show effects of AP (C), sFLK1 (D) or VEGF (E) on
Islet1/2+ cells in E5-E7 explants. Scale bars: 50 µm.
