Significantly better visual acuity after transplantation (OKT test). At the age of 23 to 27 days (corresponding to 2–3 days before surgery), visual acuity of nonsurgery RD rats is about the same as at the age of 90 to 120 days. Visual acuity was improved significantly (P < 0.05) in transplanted versus nonsurgery (control) eyes postsurgery at 90 to 120, 150 to 180, and 194 to 214 days of age (paired t-tests between eyes of same animals), and when compared with presurgery testing. The improvement in transplanted rats was also significant compared to nonsurgery AMC and sham animals (unpaired t-tests). Transplanted rats: age 90 to 120 days, n = 11; 150 to 180 days, n = 12; 194 to 214 days, n = 12. AMC: 23 to 27 days, n = 12; 90 to 120 days, n = 8; 150–180 days, n = 9; 204 to 214 days, n = 8; sham surgery, 90 to 120 days, n = 11; 150 to 180 days, n = 9; 204 to 214 days, n = 3.
