Temporal requirement of RPE‐derived VEGF in the development of choroidal vasculature
8 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A or VEGF) is a potent growth factor for the development of retinal and choroidal vasculatures. To define the temporal requirement of the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE)-derived VEGF in choroidal vascular development, we generated conditional VEGF knockout mice using an inducible Cre/lox system. The loss of the RPE-derived VEGF was confirmed with immunoblotting and...
