Fig. 2. Lineage tracing analysis in the retina. All retinal sections were
examined at 3 weeks of age. (A) X-gal staining of retinal sections from
Ptf1aCre/+;R26R pups counterstained with Fast Red. No
ß-gal activity was detected in the ONL. (B-L)
Ptf1aCre/+;R26R-EYFP retinal sections double-labeled with
anti-GFP (green) and the indicated antibodies (red). Brn3b (ganglion cells,
B); Chx10 (bipolar cells, C); recoverin (rods and cones, D); calbindin
(horizontal and amacrine cells, E); syntaxin (horizontal and amacrine cells,
F); Gad65 (GABAergic amacrine cells, G); GABA (GABAergic amacrine cells, H);
calretinin (amacrine subclass and ganglion cells, I); tyrosine hydroxylase
(Th, dopaminergic amacrine cells, J); glycine transporter 1 (Glyt1,
glycinergic amacrine cells, K); Cralbp (RPE and Müllar glia, L). Arrows
in A,C,E indicate representative mature horizontal cells; arrowheads in E,H
indicate non-colocalized cells. Scale bars: in A, 25 µm for A; in L, 25
µm for B-L. Abbreviations: INL, inner nuclear layer; ONL, outer nuclear
layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer; IPL, inner
plexiform layer.
