Immunocytochemical localization of dopamine D1 receptors in the retina of mammals

Visual Neuroscience

Abstract

Dopamine is one of the major neurotransmitters in the retina. It is released from amacrine and interplexiform cells into both inner (IPL) and outer (OPL) plexiform layers. Several dopaminergic actions are known to occur through D1 receptors (D1R) but the precise location of these receptors has not been established. An antibody that recognizes the intracytoplasmic C-terminal of the rat D1R was used to detect D1R, immunohistochemically, in rats (Wistar and RCS), mouse, hamster, and macaque monkey retinas. The OPL was heavily stained in each species, consistent with the known actions of dopamine on horizontal cells. Three to five bands were observed in the IPL, depending on species. Three were in the a sublayer, the outermost of which was close to the amacrine cell layer, and may represent the massive dopamine input to the AII rod-amacrine cells. As observed in mice, where bipolar cells are D1-immunoreactive, the band located in sublayer 3 of the IPL may contain cone-bipolar cell terminals. A band of D1R-immunoreactivity in the b sublayer of the IPL contains ON-bipolar cell terminals and a second site of interaction between dopaminergic cells and the AII amacrine cells. This sublayer was absent from the RCS rat retina, suggesting ...Continue Reading

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
