Fig. 5. Peripheral neutrophil depletion protects photoreceptors after retinal detachment.

A Outline of recipients, peripheral neutrophil depletion, and experimental retinal detachment model (Created with BioRender.com). B and C Subretinal infiltration of CD11b⁺ and Ly6G⁺ cells in control and anti-Ly6G⁺ neutralizing antibody groups after retinal detachment in retinal cryosections. D Photoreceptor cell count in the detached retina in control and anti-Ly6G⁺ groups at day 7. E and F Representative cryosection image of outer nuclear layer and subretinal cells (arrows) in both groups at day 7 after retinal detachment. Images are representative of ≥ 3 experiments (n = 5, 7). *p < 0.05. Scale bar 50 µm (E and F).
