Changes in Retinal Function and Cellular Remodeling Following Experimental Retinal Detachment in a Rabbit Model

Figure 8

Expression of photoreceptor ribbon synapse protein Bassoon in a control (left column) and in an experimental retina (right column). Representative images of retinal sections labelled with PKC for mixed bipolar cells ((a), (b), green) and Bassoon for active ribbon synapse ((c), (d), red). Merged images are illustrated ((e) and (f)). ONL = outer nuclear layer, OPL = outer plexiform layer, and IPL = inner plexiform layer. Original magnification ×63. Higher magnification in the box (×100).
