Distribution and density of medium-and short-wavelength selective cones in the domestic pig retina
A Hendrickson, D Hicks - Experimental eye research, 2002 - Elsevier
The topography of medium (M)-and short (S)-wavelength sensitive cone photoreceptors was
studied in the domestic pig retina. Antisera specific for M or S opsin as well as cone
photoreceptor proteins arrestin and alpha-transducin were used to label cone types. Retinal
wholemounts and their blood vessel patterns were drawn and specific regions removed. The
wholemounts were immunocytochemically labelled to detect both M and S cones, and the
specific regions labelled to detect S cones. Cones were counted in a 1mm grid pattern …
