Objective To cross spontaneously hereditary retinal degeneration mice (temporarily designated as KM
rdf/rdf
mice) derived from Kunming mice with C57BL/6J mice to establish a congenic inbred strain (temporarily designated as the mice)
and study the ocular phenotype of the mice. Methods Fundus photography
fundus fluorescein angiography
tissue morphology and electroretinography (ERG) were performed to observe the ocular phenotype of B6
rdf/rdf
mice at different ages. Results The fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography showed progressive retinal vascular de
generation and depigmentation. The tissue morphology showed that the outer nuclear layer was significantly thinned at P14
and the outer nuclear layer and outer plexiform layer almost disappeared at 21 d post born. No obvious waveform was observed from 14 d after born in the ERG. Conclusion The ocular phenotype of B6
rdf/rdf
mice was similar to that of KM
rdf/rdf
mice
which indicates that B6
rdf/rdf
mice can be used as an retinitis pigmentosa mouse model.
