Figure 5. Expression of opsins and peripherin2 in C57BL/6 and 3 week old rd1-2J mice.

The C57BL/6 mouse expressed rhodopsin (a), cone opsin (b) and peripherin2 (c). Three week old rd1-2J mouse had few rhodopsin positive cells (arrow heads) (e, i) and cones had short outer segments indicated by the colocalization of cone opsin (arrows) and peripherin 2 (f, g, i, j). In rd1-2J mice, 2 different fields are presented. Bars = 10 μm.
