Larger Image Fig. 2. Expression of nIF mRNA in the contralateral, unoperated control eye at late stages of regeneration (A–E) and in the operated eye 6 (F–J) and 12 (K–O) days after optic nerve crush. Neighboring transverse sections were hybridized with digoxigenin-labeled cRNA probes to peripherin (A,F,K), xefiltin (B,G,L), XNIF (C,H,M), NF-M (D,I,N), and NF-L (E,J,O). A representative example of a section from an operated eye hybridized with a sense probe to peripherin showed no label above background (P). i, inner nuclear layer; p, retinal pigmented epithelium (naturally pigmented and not labeled); r, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) layer. Scale bar 100 m in P and applies to all panels. Image published in: Gervasi C et al. (2003) Copyright © 2003. Image reproduced with permission of the Publisher, John Wiley & Sons.
