Fig. 4: Oxalate fibrils are present in outer retinal layers and in retinal glial cells in treated eyes.
From: Induction of retinopathy by fibrillar oxalate assemblies
Retinas of rats injected with oxalate fibrils were stained with a specific antibody and examined using confocal microscopy. For each section, the microscopy image is shown together with the corresponding analysis of fluorescence intensity. a, b Retinal section from an experimental eye 2 days after the injection demonstrates scattered fluorescence along the inner retinal layers, with an intense band-shaped signal along the photoreceptors outer segments. c, d The corresponding retinal section from the control eye. e, f 30 days after the injection, the experimental retina demonstrates intense fluorescence in vertical figures with a typical morphology for Müller glial cells. g, h Control eye of the same rat. Scale bar: 25 µm.
