Figure 8: Material transfer does not require sustained physical interaction between donor and host cells.

From: Donor and host photoreceptors engage in material transfer following transplantation of post-mitotic photoreceptor precursors

Figure 8

(a), confocal image of GFP+ cells within the host ONL immediately below the donor cell mass. Labelled user segments terminate close to the cell mass. (b), confocal image of GFP+ cells within the host ONL a significant distance away from the cell mass, with no donor cells present in the overlying SRS. (c,d), 3D reconstructions of GFP+ labelled cells in the ONL of (c) wild-type and (d) Gnat1−/− host retinae show no physical interaction with any other GFP+ cell. Scale bars 10 μm.
