vision/eye
• M-opsin is absent in both the dorsal and ventral retinas of 2.5 and 10 month old mice
• however, S-opsin expression is comparable to wild-type retinas
|
• cone ERG responses to middle wavelength (510 nm) light stimuli are absent in 2.5 and 10 month old mice, with an absent M-cone b-wave amplitude indicating impaired M-cone function
• however, the b-wave amplitudes of rod mediated scotopic ERGs and short wavelength mediated ERGs (360 nm) in both 2.5 and 10 month old mice are similar to wild-type
• recombinant M-opsin delivered by AAV5 vectors rescues M-cone function
