Transplanted cells maintain RPE cell marker expression, phagocytosed rhodopsin material, and decreased autofluorescence levels at 5 weeks PI. (a) Grafted cells are positive for CRALBP and mostly negative for Ki67. Rhodopsin-positive material is found within the cell membrane of HSM-labelled cells. (b) Autofluorescence in sham-injected eyes and in nongrafted areas was detected scattered all over the SRS, whereas in grafted areas it was limited to discrete spots of the RPE cell layer. Representative images of hiPSC-injected eyes are shown, but similar results were obtained in hESC-injected eyes. RPE, retinal pigment epithelium; SRS, subretinal space; ONL, outer nuclear layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; GCL, ganglion cell layer.
