(A) Representative P50 rd1 flat-mounted retinas after P0 infection with control shRNA construct (siNC) or an shRNA construct targeting Ldhb (siLdhb(#2)) in the presence or absence of transduced Txnip (AAV8-RedO-Txnip, ≈1 × 109 vg/eye; AAV8-RedO-shRNA ≈1 × 109 vg/eye), plus AAV8-RedO-H2BGFP (2.5 × 108 vg/eye) (B) Quantification of H2BGFP-positive cones within the 1⁄2 radius of P50 rd1 retinas transduced with control, siNC control, Txnip + siLdhb(#2), or Txnip + siNC control (same as in A). This evidence concerns the gene PDE6B and infection.
