Immunohistochemical analysis of Sox9 expression in normal spotted wolffish ocular tissues. (A) and (C), Sox9 expression was detected in the nuclei of photoreceptor cell bodies (prcb), in the nuclei of the retinal (r) stratum known to contain both Müller glial cells and bipolar cells (bp/mg), in cells scattered throughout the retinal ganglion cell layer (gcl) and optic nerve tract (on). Sox9 is expressed at very high levels in small leukocytic like cells and flattened endothelial-like cells in the spotted wolffish rete mirabile and choroid body vascular tissues (B). (C), Sox9 was expressed at detectable levels in chondrocytes within the scleral cartilage (sc). Scale grid subdivisions are 10 µm. Representative images are shown.
