(a-f) Isolation and characterization of RPE from donors. The isolated RPE from AMD and control donors express RPE-specific proteins ZO-1, Bestrophin and CRALBP. A representative image of immunostaining is shown for each group. Bar represents 100 μM. (g) Gene expression analysis by qRT-PCR confirming the expression of RPE marker genes in the RPE isolated from donors (controls 6, 10, 23 and 25; AMD 9, 17, 19 and 32). (h) Gene expression analysis of AMD-associated genes in AMD and normal RPE. **P<0.01, ****P<0.0001
