Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study was aimed at determining whether or not apoptotic photoreceptor cell death in a mouse model of inherited retinal degeneration is p53 dependent. METHODS: A colony of p53-deficient rds mice were obtained by crossing homozygous rds mice with animals homozygous for a targeted disr...
