Sodium-bicarbonate cotransport in retinal glial cells was studied in the everted eyecup preparation of the rat. Intracellular pH was monitored with the indicator dye BCPCF and fluorescence confocal microscopy. Raising the K ϩ concentration from 3 to 12 mM in HCO 3 Ϫ -buffered perfusate evoked an int

## Abstract Infection with the neurotropic Borna disease virus (BDV) causes an immune‐mediated neurological disease in a broad range of species. In addition to encephalitis, BDV‐infected Lewis rats develop a retinitis histologically characterized by the loss of most retinal neurons. By contrast, th
Rapid termination of the synaptic action of glutamate (Glu) and glycine (Gly) is achieved by uptake into the presynaptic terminal and glial cells. In the vertebrate CNS, Gly acts both as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and as a Glu modulator or coagonist at postsynaptic N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) re
Glucocorticoid hormones regulate the transcription of nuclear genes by way of their receptors. In addition, these hormones modulate mitochondrial gene transcription by mechanisms that remain poorly understood. Using immunofluorescence labeling in isolated Müller and photoreceptor cells and in intact
Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels have been implicated in the mediation of retinal K+ homeostasis by Muller glial cells. To assess possible involvement of altered glial K+ channel expression in ischemia-reperfusion injury, transient retinal ischemia was induced in rat eyes. Acutely isolated Mull
