Exaggerated Eye Growth in IRBP-Deficient Mice in Early Development
4 Jun 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Because interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein (IRBP) is expressed before being needed in its presumptive role in the visual cycle, we tested whether it controls eye growth during development. METHODS: The eyes of congenic IRBP knockout (KO) and C57BL/6J wild-type (WT) mice ranging in age from postnatal day (P)2 to P440 were compared by histology, laser micrometry, cycloplegic photorefractions, and...
