Leukotrienes (LT) were identified in the intact frog (Kuna pipiens) retinal pigment epithelium W E ) , retina, isolated rod outer segments (ROS), and ROS-free (neuronal) retina. Levels of endogenous LTC4 were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in both unpurified incubation medium and in incubation m

Voltage dependent potassium currents were recorded using the wholecell mode of the patch-clamp technique for the first time from endfeet of Muller cells dissociated from the frog retina. Recordings from intact cells and isolated endfeet indicate that the inward rectifier potassium channel is the dom
A new, gentle technique has been developed for washing of the retinal interphotoreceptor space (IPS) to obtain soluble components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Using this method, we have determined that the major soluble constituent of monkey IPS is a 146,000 M, glycoprotein, which binds [3H]re
The retinal uptake and metabolism of cysteine, a precursor for taurine biosynthesis, were analysed using the bull frog. The [I4C] cysteine uptake into isolated retina had some specific properties: It was rather temperature independent, required Na ions, was inhibited by ouabain but not by dinitrophe
