Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Characterization of a mouse model of spontaneous choroidal neovascularization (sCNV) and its effect on retinal architecture and function. METHODS: The sCNV mouse phenotype was characterized by using fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO), optical coherence tomography (OCT), ERG, immunostaining, biochemistry, and electron microscopy. A role for VEGF-A...
