ERRATUM
Erratum for Kalloniatis et al., Amino Acid Signatures in the Primate Retina
Erratum: We regret that, in the process of reproducing the art for
the article "Amino Acid Signatures in the Primate Retina" (Michael
Kalloniatis et al.), which appeared on pages 6807-6829 in the November
1, 1996 issue, Figures 3, 10, and 12 were printed out of focus,
blurring the authors' results. These figures are reprinted
here.
Fig. 3.
Taurine (Tau) immunoreactivity (sample
571) 1-3 mm from the fovea (A) and (sample M328) 8-10 mm
from the fovea (B). A, Photoreceptors display
the highest level of immunoreactivity, followed by bipolar cells.
Müller's cell somas are indistinguishable from bipolar cells in
the middle of the inner nuclear layer (INL); however, Müller's cell end-feet traversing the nerve fiber layer are
easily identified. Note that horizontal cells (H) display
low taurine immunoreactivity, whereas ganglion cells (G) are
immunonegative. B, In the far periphery, Müller's
cells dominate taurine labeling patterns in the inner nuclear and
ganglion cell layers. Ganglion cells and some amacrine cells are
immunonegative. G, Ganglion cells.

Fig. 10.
Foveal serial sections (sample M328) labeled for
glutamate (A), GABA (B), taurine (C),
glycine (D), aspartate (E), and glutamine (F). A G
1 amacrine cell (A
with arrow), an E4 ganglion cell (G
with arrow), and an E1 bipolar cell
(B with arrow) on the foveal edge are indicated.
Note the disarray of the immunoreactivity in the inner nuclear layer
(INL) near the foveal edge and the GABA processes in the
foveal floor (identified by arrowheads in B).
Hf, Henle's fibers.

Fig. 12.
Serial sections of midperipheral primate retina
(sample M328) at 4-6 mm eccentricity, consecutively labeled for
taurine (A), GABA (B), glutamate (C),
and glycine (D). Several theme groups based on pattern
recognition classification are indicated, including X1
(X1) cells with their "null" signatures, G
1 amacrine cells (G1),
2
(G2), and
4 (
4) amacrine cells to highlight the distinctively higher glutamate signals of
2 cells (
2), G+ E2
(E2) and G
E1 (E1)
bipolar cells,
+ G2 and 
G1 amacrine cells, conventional E4
(E4) ganglion cells, and a weakly
+
E6 (E6) ganglion cell. A G
1
amacrine cell is also indicated.
