Figure 4. The Akita mutation does not cause RGC death out to 8.5 months of age in DBA/2J mice.

Figure 4

(A, B) To determine if the Akita mutation leads to RGC loss in DBA/2J mice, retinas from 8.5 month old D2.Ins2Akita/+ and D2.Ins2+/+ mice were stained for the RGC marker TUBB3+. (C) TUBB3+ cell counts showed that there was no significant difference in RGCs detected in retinas of D2.Ins2Akita/+ mice compared with D2.Ins2+/+ mice (n = 8 retinas for each genotype; p = 0.138). Scale bar: 30 µm.
