font face="ArialMT"> Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are the only projecting neurons in retina. Taking advantage of having these cells purified, we have performed developmental, biochemical and circadian studies. Anti-chicken Thy-1 sera were raised to accomplish panning purification of RGCs. From 7-days-old embryo (E7) retina, we obtained two different populations of RGCs. By gentle washing
