Transgenic removal of RBCs from developing circuits. a Section through a Grm6L-YFP-DTA con retina in which ON bipolar cells express YFP (green) stained for VGluT1 (blue), which labels photoreceptor and bipolar cell axon terminals, and for the RBC-specific marker PKCα (red). Scale bar indicates 20 μm. bd Retinal flat mounts from wild-type (b), Pcp2-DTA (c), and Pax6-DTA (d) mice stained for PKCα. Scale bar indicates 20 μm. e Summary data (mean ± SEM) of RBC densities in wild-type (n = 23 mice), Pcp2-DTA (n = 8 mice), and Pax6-DTA (n = 22 mice) mice. By Kruskal–Wallis one-way ANOVA testing, the density of RBCs was lower in Pcp2-DTA and Pax6-DTA compared to wild-type retinas (p < 0.04 and p < 10−8, respectively), and lower in Pax6-DTA than in Pcp2-DTA retinas (p < 0.049)
