title: GAP-43-like immunoreactivity in the adult retina of several species.
abstract: The localization of GAP-43-like immunoreactivity has been determined in retinas from adult toad, snake, rat, rabbit, cow and human. Specific labeling was conspicuous in discrete sublaminae within the inner plexiform layer of all mammalian species tested. In contrast, the toad retina exhibited punctate labeling in the outer plexiform layer, while the snake retina had little or no GAP-43-like immunoreactivity.
