Opsin levels and refractive characteristics of Ai9 and Chx10-Cre;Ai9 mice. Retinal M (A,B) and S opsin (C,D) levels were quantified by western blotting relative to α-tubulin at 10 weeks of age (see original gels in supplementary file). Refraction (E) and axial length (F) of Ai9 and Chx10-Cre;Ai9 mice were recorded at 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks. Only the M opsin level in the Chx10-Cre;Ai9 mice at 10 weeks was higher than in the Ai9 mice. Otherwise, emmetropization in Chx10-Cre;Ai9 mice did not differ from the Ai9 mice. *P < 0.05 by t-test.
