Figure 3.

Functional analysis of AAV2/5 IA-RPGR. (A) Fundus photograph (left) and OCT (right) of Sprague Dawley rat retina following subretinal injection. In the fundus photo, the dotted line demarcates the subretinal bleb area, and the arrow indicates the retinotomy site. In the OCT image, the arrowheads indicate the subretinal bleb (note dark fluid-filled space beneath the photoreceptor outer segments). (B) Quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrating expression of both IA-RPGR and RPGR ORF15 transcripts following subretinal injection in wild-type Sprague Dawley rats. (C, D) Maps of FLAG-tagged IA-RPGR and RPGR ORF15 plasmids. (E) Immunoprecipitation using FLAG-tagged RPGR ORF15G275S (mutant control), IA-RPGR, and RPGR ORF15 demonstrating that IA-RPGR-derived protein retains the ability to bind PDE6D, INPP5E, and RPGRIP1L. Anti-FLAG and anti-GAPDH antibodies were used as controls. GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; OCT, optical coherence tomography; RT, reverse transcription. Color images are available online.
