Hemocyanin - antibody labeling of phodopsin in mouse retina for a scanning electron microscope study
Abstract
To reveal the presence of rhodopsin on the surface of the mouse retina, a scanning electron microscope study of the immunolabeling of rhodopsin was attempted. The glutaraldehyde-fixed mouse retina was treated first with rabbit antibodies specific against bovine rhodopsin and then with hemocyanin-labeled goat antibodies specific against rabbit antibody. The distribution of hemocyanin label on mouse retina and the technique used for labeling are discussed.
