Table 2. Photoreceptor immunolabeling with different CNTFRα antibodies in mammalian retina

The table summarizes the level of immunodetection of CNTFRα in the photoreceptor cells of several mammalian species, with the four antibodies used in this study. Intensity of photoreceptor labeling was characterized as strong (+++), moderate (++), weak (+), absent but with labeling in other retinal layers (0), nonspecific background labeling (BG), nonreactive with an absence of labeling throughout the retina (NR), or indeterminate due to binding of secondary antibody to the tissue (IN).
