Extracellular levels of endogenous glutamate are relatively high in the developing rabbit retina but nonetheless appear to promote cell survival and developmental processes at concentrations considered toxic in the adult. We wished to examine the development of retinal susceptibility to glutamate to

We have discovered that a strongly fluorescent dye, sulforhodamine 101, when injected intravitreally in vivo, very effectively stains a class of star-shaped cells in the innermost layers of the rabbit retina. The cells were strictly confined to the region containing medullated fibers and emitted dic
Chick embryo retinas were cultured with [3H]glucosamine on each day between days 6 and 12 of development. The total labeling of gangliosides decreased from day 6 to day 12. The decrease was mostly due to the decrease in the labeling of disialosyllactosylceramide (GD3), which diminished to less than
