Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In the absence of 11-cis retinal (e.g., Rpe65⁻/⁻), the chromophore for all pigments, cone opsins are mislocalized in vivo. Using the systemic application of 11-cis retinal, appropriate protein localization can be promoted. Here, we asked whether explant cultures of Rpe65⁻/⁻ mouse retina are amenable to screening retinoids for their ability to promote opsin trafficking. METHODS: Retina-retinal pigment...
