1 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate apoptosis in human age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: Postmortem retinas with AMD and normal retinas were studied by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) to identify dying cells, and by immunocytochemistry with cell-specific antibodies to identify rods and cones. Sections were also labeled for Fas, a cell surface receptor that triggers...
