Survival of retinal cells in cultures derived from wild type, knockout (and UCP2 transgenic PN1 mice. Three sets of cultures were established from each of the different genotypes and the surviving cells counted after 4 or 7 days of culture. Cell survival in the presence (+NTs) and absence (-NTs) of BDNF (40 ng/ml) plus CNTF (40 ng/ml) were measured separately. * = p<0.05, *** = p<0.001, all comparisons with wild type.
