Show abstract
Retinal markers with high quality and specificity are important for the observation of pathologic changes of retinal cells during retinal development, degeneration, and regeneration. Zpr-3 is a mouse monoclonal antibody with uncharacterized antigen usually used to label rod photoreceptors. In this study, we provided evidence to demonstrate that the antigen gene of zpr-3 is rho, which encodes the rod opsin, and the exact epitope of zpr-3 is the 320-354 region of Rho protein. More importantly, our immunofluorescence assays indicated that zpr-3 labels both the outer segments of rods and green-cones on zebrafish retinal sections, probably due to the cross-reaction with the green-cone opsin. Our work is valuable for the scientific community to interpret the experimental data involving the zpr-3 antibody.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
