Partial characterisation of high molecular weight membrane proteins of bovine retinal rod outer segment (ROS), with emphasis on their possible involvement in the phagocytosis of ROS by retinal pigment epithelial cells
The ageing tips of vertebrate rod photoreceptors, (known as rod outer segments, or ROS), are phagocytosed by the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, which lie in close apposition to them. It has been shown by several workers, using in vitro RPE cell cultures, that ROS bind to the RPE cells with...
