The Mean Size of the Neovascular Tufts and Avascular Areas in the OIR Retinas of WT and Postn KO Mice

The retinas were stained by FITC-conjugated isolectin B4 to observe the vessels, and flat-mounted retinas were examined with a fluorescence microscope. (A) Representative images of the neovascular tufts and avascular areas at P17 in WT and Postn KO mice. (B) The percentage of the neovascular tufts in the OIR retinas of POSTN KO mice was significantly smaller than that of WT mice, whereas the mean avascular area in POSTN KO mice was significantly larger than that in WT mice (n = 6/group). *p < 0.01. Error bars are SEM.
