vision/eye
• Slc18a3 staining of mature starburst amacrine cells (SACs) is absent from the peripheral retina
• however, retinal transition cell division, rod cell numbers, retinal differentiation and rod function are normal
|
• mice have slightly fewer ganglion cells at P0
|
• starburst amacrine cells (SACs) have defects in differentiation not associated with cell cycle or apoptosis
• only 1 Calb2+ SAC track is detectable instead of 3 normally detected in the inner plexiform layer
• Slc18a3 staining of mature SACs is absent from the peripheral retina
• 3.7% of Camk2a+ SAC express Chat and Slc18a3 compared to 60% in wild-type mice, 5.6% in Rbl1 null mice and 91% in Rbl1 and E2f3 null mice
|
• mice have slightly fewer bipolar cells at P18 or P30
• however, the proportion of bipolar cells is normal
|
• only 1 Calb2+ starburst amacrine cell track is detectable instead of 3 normally detected in the inner plexiform layer
|
• the retinal outer nuclear layer is slightly reduced in thickness at P18 or P30
|
• photopic response is very slightly reduced
