Figure 4. The cytotoxic effects of
homocysteine-thiolactone (Hcy-T) on specific retinal cells as reflected
by alterations of A-D: rhodopsin positive
photoreceptors, E-H: calbindin positive horizontal
cells, I-L: Chx- 10 positive bipolar cells, M-P:
Islet-1
positive bipolar cells, Q-T: Pax-6 positive
amacrine cells, and U-X: glial fibrillary acidic protein
(GFAP) positive Müller cells at day 15 and day 90 following the
intravitreal injections. Abbreviations: GCLrepresents ganglion cell
layer; INL represents inner nuclear layer; IPL represents inner
plexiform layer; ONL represents outer nuclear layer; OPL represents
outer plexiform layer; OS/IS represents outer and inner segments of
photoreceptors. Scale bar: 45 μm.
