Caption | Ultrastructure of eye tissue and cultured skin melanocytes from wild-type (b & d) and Hps1ep/Hps1ep (a & c) mice. Upper: Sections through wild-type and homozygous mutant mouse eyes showing the pigmented retinal epithelium. Lower: Cultured skin melanocytes from homozygous and wild-type mice. Large melanosomes (macromelanosomes) are seen in the choroid and cultured melanocytes from homozygous mutant mice, which may be derived from fusions of smaller vesicles. Retinal melanocytes from homozygous mice exhibit smaller melanosomes than wild-type controls and are more unevenly pigmented. Abbreviations: retinal epithelium (RPE); choroid (CH); red blood cells (RBC); melanosomes (M) Scalebar: 2um | ||||
