Collection Summary: | C57BL/6J and rd10 mice were raised under varying light conditions in standard housing, temperature and access to food and water. Some mice were raised under normal light/dark cycle at ambient light levels of approximately 80 lux. At 18 days after birth, mice were exposed to 250 lux for 3 h (light-adapted) followed by euthanasia using cervical dislocation. The eyes were enucleated and the retinas dissected in PBS in the light under a microscope, followed by rapid freezing by dropping them individually into a container filled with liquid nitrogen. Each set of samples were pooled in liquid nitrogen. Other mice raised in cyclic light were adapted overnight at P17 in complete darkness (dark-adapted) before euthanasia at P18. Using infrared goggles and an infrared microscope, these retinas were processed similarly as light-adapted samples except that all procedures were performed in the dark. Mice raised in total darkness were euthanized at P18 and dissected in the dark using infrared goggles and an infrared microscope. |
