Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In this study, the authors present the biochemical, morphologic, and physiological analyses of a transgenic mouse model for retinal degeneration slow (RDS)-mediated retinitis pigmentosa caused by a proline 216 to leucine (P216L) amino acid substitution in rds/peripherin. METHODS: The authors assembled a mutant rds transgene that encodes rds/peripherin with a P216L substitution. Transgenic mice were...
