Figure 14.2 Phase contrast microscopic images of conditionally immortalized cells forming the inner blood-retinal barrier (A) and time-course of [3H] adenosine uptake by TR-iBRB cells (B). A Conditionally immortalized rat retinal capillary endothelial cell line TR-iBRB, retinal pericyte cell line TR-rPCT and Muller cell line TR-MUL. B The [ H]adenosine (14 nM) uptake was performed at 37°C in the presence (closed circle) or absence (open circle) of Na+.

The retina extends forward to the sclera as a globe-shaped wineglass almost external to the skull. That part of the sclera devoid of retina is the pars planar, which is used as an access point for injection or for close delivery to the iris and ciliary body (ICB). When stripped from its basement membrane and opened out, the collapsed retina is a circular disk approximately 42 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm in thickness. The organization of the retina is based on a three-neuron chain (photoreceptor cell-bipolar cell-ganglion cell) and accompanying cells (horizontal, amacrine, and Muller cells)...
