Abstract

The cellular localization of cathepsin B and D immunoreactivity was demonstrated at the light microscopic level in the retina of adult rabbits by use of the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique. Antisera were raised against rat liver enzymes. Whereas cathepsin D immunoreactivity was confined to Müller (glial) cells, cathepsin B was demonstrated in some, but not all, neuronal cell types. It is proposed that the two enzymes might carry different functions within the neuronal versus glial compartment.
