Inward permeability of the blood-retinal barrier by fluorophotometry.

abstract：:In the tree shrew retina individual rod and cone photoreceptors can be readily identified and quantified because their perikarya are arranged in a single layer. This retina is therefore an ideal system for testing the specificity of photoreceptor-directed antibodies. Here we describe the staining properties of polyclo...
