Abstract excerpt
We have previously shown that transcription of the beta 3 nicotinic receptor gene within the chick CNS is regulated by a promoter 143 base pairs (bp) in length. Here, we demonstrate that in the developing visual system this promoter is active in a subset of retinal cells, the majority of which ar...
