Caption Rhotm2.1Kpal/Rhotm2.1Kpal (KK) mice undergo progressive retinal degeneration. (A) Representative 3D optical coherence tomography images of 2-month-old wild-type (WT) and Rhotm2.1Kpal/Rhotm2.1Kpal retinas. Scale bar: 20 um. The outer nuclear layer (ONL) was substantially thinner in retinas of homozygous mutant mice. (C) Plastic sections of retinas stained with toluidine blue from WT, heterozygous (EK) and homozygous (KK) mice at 1 and 4 months of age. Heterozygous mutant retina displayed an intermediate progression of retinal degeneration indicated by modest degeneration by 4 months of age that progressed to nearly complete loss of photoreceptors by 10 months of age.
