The localization of structures immunoreactive to antisera against opsin (OPS; a specific marker for rods) and against visinin (VIS; a specific marker for cones in the vertebrate retina) was investigated in the retina of the river lamprey (Lampetra japonica) by means of fluorescence microscopy. Different immunoreactive structures were found with the two antisera. A vitreadly located structure in the outer nuclear layer displayed OPS-like immunoreactivity, while a scleradly located one exhibited VIS-like reactivity. Thus, the two antisera applied to the retina of the river lamprey permit the distinguishing of rod and cone immunoreactive photoreceptors such as occurs typically in all vertebrate classes. The former appears in the outer segments of a type of rod cells, and the latter in the cell bodies and axons of cones.
