Spontaneous transdifferentiation of quail pigmented epithelial cell is accompanied by a mutation in the Mitf gene.

Developmental biology - 15 Apr 1998

Mochii M, Ono T, Matsubara Y, Eguchi G

Abstract excerpt

An ectopic neural retina is formed at the outer layer of the retina in the silver homozygote (B/B) of the Japanese quail. In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis revealed that cells in the outer layer of retina first expressed a pigment-cell-specific gene, mmp115, and then began to express a neural marker in B/B embryos, indicating that the ectopic neural retina is formed via transdifferentiation...
