Figure 2. Polysaccharides promoted cone photoreceptor survival in the rd10 retina at P30.
(a–b). Confocal images of retinal wholemounts. Cone photoreceptors are revealed by an antibody against red/green opsin (red). Polysaccharides-treated rd10 mice (a) appeared to have greater cone density compared to PBS-treated mice (b). (c–d). Illustrate highly magnified image of the OS/ISs of cones from the boxed regions above, respectively. (e) Quantification of cone density. Results are presented as means ± SDs; N: number of flat mounted retinas in each group. ** p < 0.01.
