Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Developing a murine model of OPA1 linked optic neuropathy. METHODS: Intravitreal injections (in adult C57BL/6J mice) of small interference RNA (siRNA) specific to OPA1 were performed in the left eye. The right eye served as control, injected with nonspecific siRNA (siRNA scramble). Visual evoked potentials and flash electroretinograms were performed 5 and 12 days after injection. Three months after...
