PURPOSE: Conflicting data were reported with respect to the retinal phenotype of mice with dual perturbation of the CCL2 and CX3CR1 genes. We report the generation and retinal phenotype of mice with a reverse CCR2/CX3CL1 gene deficiency as a suggested model for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS: Crossing of single-deficient mice generated CCR2/CX3CL1 DKO mice. DKO mice were compared with age-matched...
