We present a first description of annexin immunoreactivity within the teleost retina. Antibodies against annexins V and VI were used in light and electron microscopic sections of light- and dark-adapted retinae. Strong immunoreactivity could be found in retinal layers with high synaptic input, such as the outer and inner plexiform layers and dendritic regions within the inner plexiform layer, in cells that are involved in negative feedback control such as horizontal and amacrine cells, in the membrane metabolism of photoreceptor outer segments, and in close relation to cytoskeletal components. Our findings suggest that both annexins V and VI are involved in the regulation of transmitter release, particularly of transmitters that are not directly involved in phototransduction. The annexins appear also to be involved with structures that support morphological changes in light and dark adaptation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata
D005455 Fluorescent Antibody Technique Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016253 Microscopy, Immunoelectron Microscopy in which the samples are first stained immunocytochemically and then examined using an electron microscope. Immunoelectron microscopy is used extensively in diagnostic virology as part of very sensitive immunoassays.

D017686 Oncorhynchus mykiss A large stout-bodied, sometimes anadromous, TROUT found in still and flowing waters of the Pacific coast from southern California to Alaska. It has a greenish back, a whitish belly, and pink, red, or lavender stripes on the sides, with usually a sprinkling of black dots. It is highly regarded as a sport and food fish. Its former name was Salmo gairdneri. The sea-run rainbow trouts are often called steelheads. Redband trouts refer to interior populations of rainbows.
