Phagocytosis of light- and dark-adapted rod outer segments by cultured RPE cells: a reassessment. 1986

N J Colley, and M O Hall

Rod outer segments (ROS) isolated from adult rat retinas are phagocytized by cultured rat retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells. Using a double immunofluorescent labeling procedure, we have compared the binding and ingestion of ROS isolated at different times of the day. After 2 hr of incubation, approximately 98% of the ROS are ingested, while 2% are still attached to the RPE cell surface, irrespective of the time of day or lighting conditions under which the ROS are isolated. These findings differ from those reported earlier, using a radioactive method for quantitating ROS phagocytosis (Hall, 1978).

D010587 Phagocytosis The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES). Phagocytoses
D010786 Photoreceptor Cells Specialized cells that detect and transduce light. They are classified into two types based on their light reception structure, the ciliary photoreceptors and the rhabdomeric photoreceptors with MICROVILLI. Ciliary photoreceptor cells use OPSINS that activate a PHOSPHODIESTERASE phosphodiesterase cascade. Rhabdomeric photoreceptor cells use opsins that activate a PHOSPHOLIPASE C cascade.

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.
