Figure 1. Expression of the egr-1-d2EGFP transgene in adult rat retina. Representative fluorescence microscopic images of transverse sections of adult rat retina showing detection of total cells (DAPI staining) and d2EGFP immunoreactivity (green fluorescent protein, GFP). Animals were killed at 24:00 h. Panels A-C show egr-1-d2EGFP transgenic rats and panels D-F show wild-type rats. Note detection of abundant GFP immunoreactivity in the outer nuclear layer (ONL), photoreceptor inner segment (IS), and photoreceptor outer segment (OS) of the transgenic rat only. In addition, single GFP-positive inner nuclear layer (INL; horizontal arrowhead) and ganglion cell layer (GCL, vertical arrowhead) cells are indicated in A. The scale bar represents 20 μm.
