## Abstract A new procedure is presented for the isolation of electron microscopically clean melanosomes. The procedure provides melanosomes which have been stripped of their membrane components so that only matrix elements are examined. Solubilization of these melanosomes is by 8 M ureaβ1% Triton

## Background: The toad's (bufo marinus) retinal pigment epithelium (rpe) has been used in many studies as a model for understanding its role and interaction with the neural retina (nr). in this study, the fine structure of the rpe is described. ## Methods: In vitro rpe-chorion preparations from
Visual deprivation of the chicken eye causes axial elongation with high myopia. The cartilaginous layer of the myopic sclera shows an increase of mitotic activity. Previous studies reported that the in vivo administration of apomorphine, a dopamine nonselective agonist, eectively prevents visual-dep
The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is essential for eye development by interacting with the overlaying neuroepithelium. Regulatory sequences of the gene encoding for tyrosinase-related protein 1 (TRP-1), linked to the lacZ reporter gene, lead to strong and specific β€-galactosidase expression in th
