Figure 5.
ChAT-labeled retinal flat mounts from RCS rats implanted from 4 to 8 weeks postnatal with an mPVA device (C and D) compared to unimplanted control eyes (A and B). En face view of unimplanted INL placed (A) and implanted INL placed (C) ChAT positive amacrine cells shows similar cholinergic amacrine cell distribution with consistent density. Similarly, labelling patterns of ChAT positive amacrine cells in the ganglion cell layer were consistent between unimplanted (B) and implanted (D) retinas. Scale bar=50μm.
