11-cis retinal regeneration analysis (A). Before bleaching, there was no difference in the percentage of 11-cis retinal of total retinoid. Also, no differences were observed in regenerated 11-cis retinal at 10 m intervals after bleaching as indicated. Data are expressed as means ± SD. N = 8. Western blotting analysis of rhodopsin protein in WT and CD59aKO-Balb/c mice (B and C). There was significantly lower rhodopsin protein in CD59aKO mice compare to WT-Balb/c mice (P = 0.03). N = 3. Microspectrophotometric rhodopsin measurement in NSR of C57BL/6 WT and CD59aKO (D). There was significantly lower rhodopsin concentration per retina in CD59aKO mice compared to WT C57BL/6 mice (P = 0.001). N = 5.
