Protocol for evaluating the role of a gene in protecting mouse retinal ganglion cells

Summary: The degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) leads to irreversible vision loss in a variety of pathological states. Here, we describe a protocol to evaluate the role of a gene in protecting mouse RGCs when they sustain injuries from excitotoxicity or axonal damage. This protocol includ...
