Type IV collagen and laminin in Bruch’s membrane and basal linear deposit in the human macula
Open accessAbstract
Tissue obtained from the macula in 10 human eyes (53-77 years) was used for an investigation into the extracellular matrices of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch's membrane, and the choriocapillaris. The ultrastructural distribution of type IV collagen and laminin was documented using immunogold labelling. Labelling for type IV collagen was strongly positive in all the specimens in the basement membranes of the choriocapillaris but not that of the RPE where labelling was either weak or absent. Laminin was localised to deposits of granular material in Bruch's membrane but was absent from the basement membrane of the RPE and the choriocapillaris. Basal linear deposit, observed in three cases, demonstrated labelling for laminin but not for type IV collagen. The series was too small for correlation of these morphological changes with age.

Immunolabeling with antibodies against elastin and collagen IV shows no significant difference between Klc1−/− and control, suggesting that these regions of Bruch's membrane are relatively unaffected.
“Immunolabeling with antibodies against elastin and collagen IV, which are present in the elastin layer and choroidal basement membrane of Bruch’s membrane, respectively (Marshall et al., 1992), showed no significant difference between mutant and control, suggesting that these regions of Bruch’s membrane were relatively unaffected.”
From Microtubule motors transport phagosomes in the RPE, and lack of KLC1 leads to AMD-like pathogenesis (2015) · cites this paper as Marshall et al., 1992

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
