Retinal wholemount showing the developing blood vessels in mouse. Retinal vasculature at postnatal day 3 were immunolabeled with antibodies against RFP, which label endogenous signal of vascular endothelial cadherin in transgenic mouse strain Cdh5-Cre::RFP(Red) and co-stained with Griffonia simplicifolia isolectin B4 (green) which labels the blood vessels. Vasculature that supplies the inner portion of retina with oxygen and nutrients undergo dramatic changes and reorganization during development. The developing vascular network spreads in the nerve fiber layer across the inner surface of the retina.
