Table 2. PCR primers used in amplification of porcine retinal cDNA

The porcine sequence was not available for the neurofilament gene and primers were therefore designed from conserved regions of orthologous genes from other species; the accession numbers are provided for the human, mouse, and rat orthologs. The accession number provided for the 18S and 28S genes is from mouse, however the primer sequences also match highly conserved regions within rat and human.
