Fig. 4. Voltage-dependent potassium 1.5 (Kv1.5)–like subunits are expressed in the Xenopus retina. A: The stage 33/34 retina shows immunolabelling of retinal somata and the ciliary marginal zone (CMZ) by the Kv1.5 subunit antibody. B: In the stage 37/38 retina, the antibody immunolabels the CMZ and cells in the central retina, most notably cells in the retinal ganglion cell layer (RGCL). C,D: Fluorescent micrographs of a stage 40 retina at low and high power. C: Immunoreactivity is observed in somata in all three layers of the central region of the retina. D: RGCs are particularly well labeled, and immunostaining is no longer observed in the proliferating CMZ and is reduced in the lens (L). D, dorsal; Hb, hindbrain; INL, inner nuclear layer; ONL, outer nuclear layer; PE, pigmented epithelium; V, ventral. Scale bar 50 m for A, B, and D and 100 m for C.
