Fish were dark adapted overnight, anesthetized in tricaine, and then eyes were harvested and placed in a tray of ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for retinal dissection. Dissected retinas (generally 3 replicates) were placed into 400 μL TRIzol (Invitrogen) and dissociated by trituration using, first a P200 Pipettman, and then a 1-mL syringe equipped with a 30-g needle. RNA was then purified using the manufacturer’s (TRIzol, Invitrogen) recommendations. RNA concentration was determined on a NanoDrop One spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher), and ~1 μg RNA was used for cDNA synthesis using M-MLV or SSIII reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s directions. cDNA was diluted 1/5 and 1 μL was used for PCR as previously described 69 (link), 70 (link). We used a Luna qPCR Master Mix (NEB) and an iCycler real-time PCR detection system (BioRad) to carry out real-time PCR. The △△Ct method was used to determine mRNA expression levels, and this was normalized to gapdhs for determining fold change in RNA expression.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
