The presence of the 510 nm peak photopic sensitivity (Neitz and Jacobs, 1986) is strong evidence that the COS-1 positive cones represent the green-sensitive cone subpopulation. This conclusion is supported by our earlier observations that mAb COS- 1 is specific to the middle-to-long wavelength sensitive cones in the mammalian species (Szel et al.. 1988). The middle-to-long wavelength sensitive cones made up the majority (90-97.5%) of cones in all mammalian retinas-similar to the rat, where this ratio was shown to be 9 3 ‘% on average.synonym
