Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating, ameliorating or preventing a retinal disease or condition; improving a photopic (day light) vision; for improving correcting visual acuity, improving macular function, improving a visual field, or improving scotopic (night) vision by administration of retinal progenitor cells. The subject matter described herein also provides cell populations comprising retinal progenitor cells and methods of isolation thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for making isolating a population of human retinal progenitor cells comprising: harvesting human retinal tissue at a stage after which the retina is formed but before photoreceptor outer segments are fully formed throughout the retina and before retinal vascularization substantially completed or completed, wherein the tissues are harvested from a human retina at a gestational age between about 12 weeks to about 28 weeks; dissociating the harveste…
