Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The distribution of transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) was examined in the posterior segment of the monkey, human, and feline eye using antisera to TGF‐β, TGF‐β, or TGF‐β. A number of different antibodies, tissue processing methods, immunolocalization techniques, and microscopic imaging systems were used in an attempt to gain a more comprehensive picture of TGF‐β isoform distribution in the retina and retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE). The results are generally consistent in identifying one or more of the three TGF‐β isoforms in the cytoplasm of a small, overlapping subset of cells. RPE cells, photoreceptors, Mueller cells, ganglion cells, hyalocytes, and cells associated with choroidal and retinal vessels are all represented in this immunoreactive population. No evidence of extracellular labeling was noted. The intracellular distribution of the three isoforms is distinctly different in photoreceptors. Anti‐TGF‐β precursor and anti‐TGF‐β immunoreactivity is confined primarily to rod outer segments, whereas anti‐TGF‐β immunoreactivities are restricted to mitochondria within inner segments. In the RPE, clusters of anti‐TCF‐β positive cytoplasmic granules are located near the cells' lateral borders, whereas anti‐TGF‐β labeling is concentrated apically. These results provide baseline information from which new hypotheses regarding the function(s) of TGF‐β isoforms in the retina can be formulated. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
