Accumulation of immature retinal astrocytes (Pax2+/GFAPlo) in Vegfr-2 ECKO mice. Retinas were isolated at P5 from floxed and Vegfr-2 ECKO mice, fixed in 4% PFA, and incubated first with anti-Pax2 and anti-GFAP and then secondary antibodies. Stained retinas were flat-mounted and imaged by confocal microscopy. (AF) images from areas at approximately 0.7 mm from the ONH. (GI) GFAP:Pax2 ratio (G), number of Pax2+ cells per 0.02 mm2 tissue area (H), and IntDen values per Pax2+ nucleus (I). n = 6. *p < 0.05; ***p < 0.001. Errors bars are SEM. Scale bars: 50 µm.
