The phagocytic activity of the pigment epithelium in development and after optic nerve sectioning in the rat

Abstract:
The phagocytic activity of the pigment epithelium of the retina of the rat was studied in development and after optic nerve sectioning by injection of latex particles. The phagocytic activity took place before the visual cells developed and increased as the retina matured. On the other hand, a decrease in activity was observed after optic nerve sectioning.
