(a) Patient with chorioretinal neovascularization (CNV), stage 4. There is specific staining of the retinal pigment epithelium (white arrows) with strong staining of the outer nuclear membrane layer (blue arrow). (b) Patient with CNV, stage 4. Specific staining of the outer nuclear layer and the inner segment (IS), of the photoreceptor layer (yellow arrow), accompanied by mild staining of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). (c) Retinal sections incubated with control sera showing an absence of specific staining in comparison to sera from patients with age-related maculopathy (ARM) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). ONL, outer nuclear layer; OS, outer segment.
