PURPOSE: To develop a robust ex vivo model for evaluating cone survival in end-stage retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and apply this to quantify the effects of putative neuroprotective compounds. METHODS: Rhodopsin knockout mice were crossed with OPN1-GFP reporter mice so that GFP-positive cones could be identified against the background of a rod-specific degeneration. Retinal explants were harvested from 10-week-old mice and maintained in organotypic culture. Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF), gl...
