Key: 0 indicates no binding, 1indicates weak, 2=moderate, 3=moderately strong and 4=intense binding; results in brackets indicate intensity of binding after neuraminidase pretreatment. Abbreviations: RC is rod cytoplasm, CC is cone cytoplasm, RM is rod cell membrane, CM is cone cell membrane, OS is outer segments.
