Collection Summary: | All surgical procedures were performed in compliance with animal protocols approved by the IACUC at Boston Children's Hospital. Mice were anaesthetized with ketamine and xylazine and received buprenorphine as a postoperative analgesic. For AAV injection, 4-week-old PtenloxP/loxP mice were intravitreally-injected with 2-3 μl of either AAV-Cre (KO) or AAV-PLAP (control) with a pulled glass micropipette attached to a Hamilton syringe (Hamilton). For intravitreal injections, the pulled-glass micropipette was inserted near the peripheral retina behind the ora serrata and deliberately angled to avoid damage to the lens. Optic nerve crush (ONC) injury was performed two weeks after AAV injection, as per previously described (Park et al., 2008). Briefly, the optic nerve was exposed intraorbitally and crushed with a fine forceps (Dumont #5 FST) for 5 s approximately 500 mm behind the optic disc. Eye ointment was applied post-operatively to protect the cornea. At indicated time-points, mice were euthanized and optic nerves were immediately dissected out, and then flash frozen on dry ice. |
