Figure 1From: Dock3 interaction with a glutamate-receptor NR2D subunit protects neurons from excitotoxicityNR2D deficiency prevents the loss of RGCs in GLAST-deficient mice. (A) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of retinal sections at 5 weeks. Scale bar: 50 μm. (B) Quantification of RGC number in WT, NR2D−/−, GLAST−/−, and GLAST−/−/NR2D−/− mice. The number of neurons in the GCL was counted in retinal sections from one ora serrata through the optic nerve to the other ora serrata. n = 5 per group. **p < 0.01.Back to article page
