Analysis of Complement Expression in Light-Induced Retinal Degeneration: Synthesis and Deposition of C3 by Microglia/Macrophages Is Associated with Focal Photoreceptor Degeneration

Purpose.: To investigate the expression and localization of complement system mRNA and protein in a light-induced model of progressive retinal degeneration. Methods.: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to 1000 lux of bright continuous light (BCL) for up to 24 hours. At time points during (1–24 ho...
