abstract = {To characterize the course of retinal degeneration in the
pink-eyed RCS rat in vivo and in vitro.Retinal function of
RCS rats at the age of 2 to 100 weeks was determined in vivo
using full-field electroretinography (ERG). Retinal
morphology was evaluated in vivo using spectral domain
Optical Coherence Tomography (sd-OCT) and Fluorescence
angiography (FA) as well as postmortem using
immunohistochemistry (IH). As a control, retinal function
and morphology of non-dystrophic Wistar rats were
analyzed.RCS rats showed an extinction of the ERG beginning
with the age of 4 weeks. In the OCT, the outer part of the
retina (OPR) could be clearly distinguished from the inner
part of the retina (IPR) until the age of 8 weeks. However,
at this age, it was impossible to determine from OCT images
whether the OPR was formed by the outer nuclear layer (ONL)
or by cellular debris built in the course of retinal
degeneration. In contrast, immunohistochemistry always
enabled to differentiate between ONL and debris (RCS 4 weeks
of age: OPR mainly formed by ONL; RCS 8 weeks of age: OPR
consisted mainly of cell debris, only 1-2 cell rows of
photoreceptor somata were left).In general, data obtained in
vivo were confirmed by data obtained post mortem. Apart from
the problem to differentiate between debris and ONL at the
age of 8 weeks in the RCS rat, ERG and OCT are useful
methods to evaluate retinal function and structure in vivo
and to complement immunohistochemical analysis of the
degeneration process.},
