Abstract excerpt
To explore the possible influence of defined genetic backgrounds on photoreceptor viability and function in mice carrying a targeted disruption of the rhodopsin gene, the severities of retinopathies in Rho-/- mice on C57BL/6J and 129Sv congenic backgrounds were compared by light microscopy and electroretinography and qualitatively by in situ end labeling of DNA in apoptotic photoreceptor nuclei of retinal...
