Laminin deficits induce alterations in the development of dopaminergic neurons in the mouse retina.

Abstract excerpt

Genetically modified mice lacking the beta2 laminin chain (beta2null), the gamma3 laminin chain (gamma3 null), or both beta2/gamma3 chains (compound null) were produced. The development of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactive neurons in these mouse lines was studied between birth and postnatal day (P) 20. Compared to wild type mice, no alterations were seen in gamma3 null mice. In beta2 null mice, however,...
