Physiological function of S-cone system is not enhanced in rd7 mice.

Abstract excerpt

The rd7mouse is a mutant mouse with a relatively late development of retinal degeneration. Earlier studies have shown that rd7 mice have a distinctive pattern of retinal dysplasia with an increased number of cone cells, particularly those with S (short wavelength)-opsin immunoreactivity. These alterations of the rd7 retina are caused by a mutation in the photoreceptor cell-specific nuclear receptor gene, Nr2e3,...
