Bipolar cell remodeling halted by treatment at 12 and 16 weeks of age, but not at 24 weeks. Pde6bSTOP/STOP mice were treated (or not) at pw12, pw16 or pw24, and analyzed at pw40. Pde6bSTOP/+ mice (WT) were 40 weeks of age. Retinal sections were labeled with a, b anti-PKCα antibody to visualize rod bipolar cells, and d, e anti-secretagogin antibody to visualize cone bipolar cells particularly their processes in the OPL. Sections from a, d untreated Pde6bSTOP/STOP mice, and b, e treated Pde6bSTOP/STOP and Pde6bSTOP/+ (WT) mice. Vertical white bars in a and b, rod bipolar dendrites in the OPL; arrowheads, rod bipolar cells having aberrant dendrites; arrows, ectopic cell body. Schematic representation of healthy c rod bipolar cells and f cone bipolar cells. Scale bars, 10 µm (a, b) and 20 µm (d, e)
