Table 2. Expression of molecular markers and housekeeping genes in photoreceptor and Müller cells
The relative intensity of the PCR products from cells selected by morphological criteria were evaluated using a scale ranging from (-) for absence of product to (+++) when the bands had maximum brightness in gels. Individual cells expressed cell markers corresponding to transcripts typical of those cell types. Housekeeping genes were also detected in these cells.
