Summary of immunohistochemistry for pig retinal degeneration model.
| Sequence of antibody (primary/secondary) | Dilution | Industry | Targeted cells or layers | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anti-PKC-α | Primary | 1:200 | Invitrogen | (rod) Bipolar cells. Targeted protein kinase (PKC)-α is abundant in retinal bipolar cells |
| Anti-GFAP | Primary | 1:300 | NOVUSBIO | Müller cells, astrocytes, and glical cells. Targeted GFAP is a member of the class III intermediate filament protein family abundant in astrocytes and glial cells |
| Anti-NeuN | Primary | 1:250 | Merck | Retinal ganglion cells. Targeted NeuN is DNA-binding, neuron-specific protein |
| Anti-PNA | Primary | 1:300 | VECTOR | Cone cells. Targeted S opsin exists in cone cells |
| Anti-rhodopsin | Primary | 1:200 | Rockland | Rod cells. Targeted retinal rhodopsin exists in rod cells |
| Anti-RPE65 | Primary | 1:200 | Invitrogen | RPE cells. RPE65 is a major protein of the RPE |
| Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse | Secondary | 1:300 | Biogend | Capture or detection of mouse IgG in ELISA |
