FIGURE 6.
Transplant histology at 2 months (A,B) and 6.5 months (C–E) post-surgery. (A,C) Co-graft area. (B,D) Host retina outside co-graft. (A–D) H&E staining. White asterisks indicate the center of rosettes (spherical arrangement of photoreceptors and other retinal layers around a central lumen). The transplant in (C) has grown around the parylene RPE implant (transplant #3 in Table 3, 197 dps). (E) Bestrophin (gold) and DAPI (blue) shows RPE and parylene in transplant (#2 in Table 3, 195 dps). Blue arrows point to parylene. Red arrows point to hESC-RPE. Yellow arrows point to host RPE. The separation of tissue is processing artifact. Scale bars = 100 μm (A–D); 20 μm (E).
