Research Abstract |
We have generated a rabbit model of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), the rhodopsin P347L transgenic (Tg) rabbit, by using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenesis. These rabbits showed a rod-dominant, progressive retinal degeneration with a marked regional variations in the loss of photoreceptors. All of the electroretinogram components of the Tg rabbits decrease progressively with the a-wave more affected than the b-wave, and the oscillatory potentials (OPs) were the best preserved. Interestingly, the OP amplitudes of young Tg rabbits were significantly larger than those of wild-type rabbits. Pharmacological experiments showed that the significantly larger OPs in young Tg rabbits resulted from secondary alterations in the inner retinal function.
