Selective Gene Transfer to the Retina Using Intravitreal Ultrasound Irradiation
Figure 1
(a) Vitrectomy was performed with a 25-gauge vitrectomy system with rabbit eye. (b) Enlarge the superonasal incision with 19G needle (arrow) for the insertion of the US probe. (c) The eye ball had preserved intact after insertion of the US probe. (d) Bubble liposome was injected through the superotemporal port (arrowhead) and US irradiation (asterisk) was performed simultaneously. (e) The eye ball was kept intact after whole procedures. (f) The US probe size is as small as a 19G needle.
