A monoclonal antibody specific for retinal ganglion cells of mammals.
The development of specific markers for retinal ganglion cells is an area of great interest in retinal research. In this study we report on a monoclonal antibody (AB5) which specifically labels ganglion cells in rabbit, cat and monkey, as well as a variety of other mammalian species. Labelling of ganglion cells was also observed in isolated cell preparations of rabbit retina.
