Representative images of Western blots of rat retinal samples using various antibodies used in the current study. (A) Expression of protein kinase C (PKC)-α, protein gene product (PGP) 9.5, synaptophysin, calretinin, and calbindin in normal rat retinal samples. (B) Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), heat shock protein (Hsp) 27, Hsp32, and Hsp70 in rat retinal samples from control (labeled as C) retinas and from retinas which were lasered 3 days previously (labeled as L).
