Retinopathy Validation

VALIDATION OF MOUSE MODELS OF DIABETIC RETINOPATHY



The AMDCC Retinopathy Committee has the principal function of developing strategies and protocols for the creation and/or modification of animals models for diabetic retinopathy. This committee develops strategies for creating these animal models using transgenic and knockout technologies. Standard protocols and criteria for the induction, analysis and interpretation of the nervous system pathology are also developed. The commitee is currently evaluating validation criteria of mouse models of Diabetic Neuropathy.
