Figure Lengend Snippet: Histological characterization of recoverin-induced EAU in rabbits. Morphology of the posterior sector of the eye before ( A , B ) and 4 weeks after ( C , D ) immunization with recombinant bovine recoverin (7.5 mg/mL in PBS) mixed with Freund’s complete adjuvant (1:1). Inflammatory mononuclear cells infiltrating the vitreous body and retina ( D , short black arrows), Dalen–Fuchs nodules ( C , D , white arrows), the swelling of photoreceptors up to their fusion into homogeneous eosinophilic droplets ( D , red arrows), activation of the Müller glia ( D , red arrowheads) and areas of retinal atrophy ( C , D , long black arrows) are indicated. Retinal thickness in images ( C , D ) is altered relative to images ( A , B ) due to inflammatory and atrophic changes. Retinal fissures and detachment are of artificial origin. Staining by hematoxylin and eosin. Magnification: 200× (top row) or 400× (bottom row). Scale bar 100 µm on ( A ) (top row) and 50 µm on ( B ) (bottom row).
Article Snippet: The content of recoverin was evaluated by Western blotting of AH samples using rabbit polyclonal anti-recoverin antibodies (#DF3160, Affinity Biosciences, China; 1:1000 in PBST) and rat polyclonal anti-recoverin antibodies prepared as described in our previous study [ ] (1:10,000 in PBST).
