Intravitreal Injection of Fluorochrome-Conjugated Peanut Agglutinin Results in Specific and Reversible Labeling of Mammalian Cones In Vivo

Abstract

Intravitreal injection of fluorochrome-conjugated PNA results in specific and reversible labeling of mammalian cones in vivo without causing any gross adverse effects. This novel method may eventually provide a clinical tool to examine diseased retina.
