Botulinum toxin injection into rabbit vitreous. 1984

K Wienkers, and E M Helveston, and F D Ellis, and W Cadera

Botulinum A toxin in a dose of 5.0 X 10(-4) micrograms was injected into the vitreous of eight rabbit eyes. An equal volume of normal saline was injected into the fellow eye as a control. External examination, intraocular pressure, ophthalmoscopy, electroretinography, and light microscopy showed no significant difference between toxin injected and control eyes over a two-month period.

D001905 Botulinum Toxins Toxic proteins produced from the species CLOSTRIDIUM BOTULINUM. The toxins are synthesized as a single peptide chain which is processed into a mature protein consisting of a heavy chain and light chain joined via a disulfide bond. The botulinum toxin light chain is a zinc-dependent protease which is released from the heavy chain upon ENDOCYTOSIS into PRESYNAPTIC NERVE ENDINGS. Once inside the cell the botulinum toxin light chain cleaves specific SNARE proteins which are essential for secretion of ACETYLCHOLINE by SYNAPTIC VESICLES. This inhibition of acetylcholine release results in muscular PARALYSIS.

D013285 Strabismus Misalignment of the visual axes of the eyes. In comitant strabismus the degree of ocular misalignment does not vary with the direction of gaze. In noncomitant strabismus the degree of misalignment varies depending on direction of gaze or which eye is fixating on the target.
