We have examined the emergence of the photoreceptor mosaic in fetal macaque monkeys by using a novel monoclonal antibody, 7G6, that recognizes all cones in the adult primate retina. In the fetal retina, however, between embryonic (E) day 80 and E130, some opsin-positive cones were not labeled by 7G6

The distribution of short wavelength-sensitive (SWS or ''blue'') cone photoreceptors was compared in primates with dichromatic (''red-green colour blind'') and trichromatic colour vision. We compared a New World species, the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), with an Old World species, the macaque monke
Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels (CNGC) are ligand-gated ion channels that open and close in response to changes in the intracellular concentration of the second messengers, 3Π,5Π-cyclic adenosine monophosphate and 3Π,5Π-cyclic guanosine monophosphate. Most notably, they transduce the chemical signa
