From: Primary blast injury-induced lesions in the retina of adult rats
Expression and distribution of iNOS (red) and lectin (green) in the retina of sham (A-C) and BL rats (D-L). Lectin is localized mainly in the blood vessels (asterisk) and microglial cells (single arrow). In sham retina, a moderate iNOS labeling is detected in GCL, INL, and ONL (B). Following blast exposure (D-L), iNOS expression is strongly intensified when compared with the sham, especially in iNOS expression is strongly intensified when compared with the sham, especially in lectin-labeled microglial cells (single arrow), Müller cells (bold arrow), hyalocytes (asterisk), and the pigment cell layer. Scale bar=20 μm (A-L).
