Central retinal function as assessed with multifocal ERGs in monkeys before and after subretinal cell injections. A: monkey 4 OD; B: monkey 4 OS; C: monkey 5 OD; D: monkey 5 OS; E: monkey 6 OD; F: monkey 6 OS. Left panels in each case show central macula multifocal ERG results before injection, and right panels show results at 31 days after injections; top: false color map of scalar product response amplitudes in the central 40°; bottom: the corresponding response traces for each stimulus hexagon. Central panel: fluorescein angiograms showing the injection sites within the central 40°, illustrating undisturbed vascular patterns and persistence of injection bleb boundaries; arrows indicate the positions of the fovea and optic nerve and the injection sites. In monkey 4 right eye and both eyes of 5, other injections were placed outside the central 40°; in monkey 6, all injection sites were outside the central 40°. Retinal function remained intact within the macula and showed only minor disturbance even within the injection sites.
