Selective loss of dystrophin and Kir4.1 in βcyt/βcyt retina. Sections of 5-week-old wild-type littermate (left column) and βcyt/βcyt (right column) retina labeled with antibodies to dystrophin (A, B) and Kir4.1 (C, D). The sections were counterstained with propidium iodide. Note the selective loss of staining with the dystrophin antibody at perivascular sites and the inner limiting membrane (arrows in C, D) of the βcyt/βcyt mouse. GCL, Ganglion cell layer; IPL, inner plexiform layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; OPL, outer plexiform layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer.
