Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene for destrin (Dstn), an actin depolymerizing factor, lead to corneal abnormalities in mice. A null mutation in Dstn, termed Dstn (corn1) , isolated and maintained in the A.BY background (A.BY Dstn (corn1) ), results in corneal epithelial hyperproliferation, inflammation, and neovascularization. We previously reported that neovascularization in the cornea of Dstn (corn1) mice on the C57BL/6...
