The pathogenesis of murine cytomegalovirus ocular infection. Anterior chamber inoculation.

abstract：PURPOSE:The sense of vision in humans is robust, and visual flickering is rarely experienced. To investigate this mechanism, electrophysiological and molecular biological techniques were used on human cone and rod photoreceptors. METHODS:Voltage-gated currents were recorded using the patch-clamp technique on isolated ...
