Functional testing by electroretinography. (A) Typical ERG waveforms
obtained in the mice by different techniques indicated above the curves.
In the example, results of ERG measurements are shown before injection
and 7 days and 14 days after a subretinal injection of LF. (B) Changes
of amplitudes of scotopic parameters and (C) changes of amplitudes of
photopic parameters compared to baseline 7 days and 14 days after sham
treatment (white symbols) or injection of PBS (blue symbols) or LF (dark
yellow symbols). Median values with interquartile ranges are shown.
Numbers of animals for sham, PBS and LF groups were before treatment
n=6, n=14 and n=11, 7 days after injection n=6, n=7 and n=8, and 14 days
after injection: n=5, n=8 and n=8, respectively. Symbols show amplitudes
of different ERG parameters: ⋄ a-waves, ▯ b-waves,
◯ oscillatory potentials, ▽ 30 Hertz Flicker. Asterisks
show statistical significance of differences compared to corresponding
base line values: * p<0.05, **
p<0.01, *** p<0.001,
**** p<0.0001, with p values
calculated by the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's multiple comparisons
test. Crosses indicate significance of differences compared to
corresponding values after sham treatment: † p<0.05,
†† p<0.01.
