Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells in culture display selective induction of certain early response transcription factors at the onset of photoreceptor rod outer segment (ROS)-specific phagocytosis (Ershov et al., 1996a). Moreover, this response is modulated by prostaglandins. The purpose of thi

## Abstract The retinal pigment epithelium is uniquely suited to gene therapy that uses lipid‐mediated DNA transfer due to its high phagocytic activity in situ. We compared the relative efficacy of phagocytosis on the uptake of labeled plasmid vectors by retinal pigment epithelial and ciliary epith
