Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The authors investigated the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) administration on the expression of Ca(2+)-binding proteins in the developing bdnf(-/-) mouse retina. METHODS: Intraocular injections of BDNF (0.5 microg) were applied on postnatal day (P) 11 bdnf(-/-) mice, and their effects were evaluated on P14. Neurons expressing Ca(2+)-binding protein were studied by immunohistochemistry...
