Figure 5

Photomicrographs of transverse sections of the retina showing anti-cytokeratin immunoreactivity. (A) Prolarval retina. (B) Retina of a small larva. (C,D) Retina of a premetamorphic larva (C) and detail of the ON (D). (E,F) Retina of postmetamorphic (E) and upstream migrating adult (F) sea lampreys. Cytokeratin-ir Müller cells (thick arrows) were observed in the prolarval (A), small larval (B) and postmetamorphic/adult (E,F) retinas. Note the lack of cytokeratin labeling in the premetamorphic retina (C), although the ON shows cytokeratin-ir astrocytes (thin arrows in D). In postmetamorphic/adult sea lampreys (E,F) only the inner processes of the Müller cells show anti-cytokeratin immunoreactivity. In all photomicrographs dorsal is up and medial is to the left. Scale bars: 12.5 μm in (E); 25 μm in (A,B,D); 50 μm in (F); 100 μm in (C).
