Abstract

A comparison in retinal degeneration was studied in the normal goldfish and the megalophthalmic goldfish after optic nerve transection or lens extraction by the TUNEL (Terminal transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling) technique. A significant number of TUNEL positive cells appeared in both cases 7 days after injury, with a more prominent result in the megalophthalmic eye. Lens extraction, had less apoptotic cell death in the experimental retinas.
