Characterization of vascular development in the mouse retina
SE Connolly, TA Hores, LEH Smith, PA D'amore - Microvascular research, 1988 - Elsevier
The murine retina provides an ideal model for the study of vascular development. In this
investigation we have examined the development of blood vessels in flat-mounted whole
retinas from C57B6 mice ranging from birth to 4 months of age. Basement membrane
components of blood vessels were visualized by indirect immunofluorescence with
antibodies against type IV collagen and laminin. Endothelial cells (EC) were labeled with a
plant lectin, Ricinus communis agglutinin I (RCA), and antibodies against angiotensin …
