Differential Proteomic Analysis of the Mouse Retina
30 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
We have applied proteomic analysis to the degeneration of photoreceptors. In the rd1 mouse, a recessive mutation in the PDE6B gene leads to rapid loss of rods through apoptosis. By 5 wk postnatal, virtually all rod photoreceptors have degenerated, leaving one row of cones that degenerates secondarily. In order to assess comparative protein expression, proteins extracted from whole retina were resolved on a...
