Distribution of caveolin isoforms in the lemur retina

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The distribution of caveolin isoforms was previously
evaluated in the retinas of different species, but has not
yet been described in the primate retina. In this study, the
distribution of caveolins was assessed via immunochemistry
using isoform-specific antibodies in the retina of the blackand-
white ruffed lemur. Here, we report the presence of a
variety of caveolin isoforms in many layers of the lemur
retina. As normal human retinas were not available for
research and the retinas of primates are fairly similar to
those of humans, the lemur retina can be utilized as a
model for caveolin distribution in normal humans.
