Individual components of the ERG waveform (a-wave, composite b - wave, cone b - wave and rod b - wave) reveal relative contributions of different retinal cells to the overall functional activity of the retina.
In the scotopic - adapted RCS rat, the ERG a-wave (indicative mainly of rod activity) disappears by P60, while the composite b - wave (comprising rod and cone activity) is largely lost around P100 [39].
Thus, eyes grafted with hNPCctx - GDNF retained ERG activity at approximately 58.8 % (a-wave) and 54.6 % (cone b - wave) of the level of normal, non-dystrophic animals.
Normal cone cell function can be seen on Electroretinogram (ERG) before six weeks of age, but becomes abnormal between 6 to 12 weeks of age and is completely absent in affected adult dogs signifying complete loss of Cone Cecone cell function can be seen on Electroretinogram (ERG) before six weeks of age, but becomes abnormal between 6 to 12 weeks of age and is completely absent in affected adult dogs signifying complete loss of Cone CeCone Cells.
To establish PRA affected status by ERG, it is necessary that a full diagnostic protocol be done with dogs under anesthesia or heavy sedation, and that the rod and cone contributions of the ERG be separately evaluated.
However, the ERG response from the degenerating cones declines with age and is non-recordable in the mature CD - affected dog.
CRDs have ophthalmoscopic changes that are very similar to those of PRA and detailed ERG studies that measure both cone and rod - specific responses are required to distinguish between the two types of condition.
Both cone and rod mediated ERG responses are highly abnormal, probably due to a combination of responses from rods and possibly cones with very reduced sensitivity [58].
Preliminary electroretinogram (ERG) studies by Dr Kristina Narfstrom, Laboratory for Comparative Ophthalmology, University of Missouri - Columbia, suggest that ESS have a cone - rod form of PRA similar to that found in the Dachshunds.
