ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • multiple eye defects and developmental alteractions in chimeric and transgenic mice are produced by a motif implicated in cell adhesion
  • F VIII deficient mice (Vanden Driessche, 99)
  • endothelial cells from multiple, but not all, tissues contribute to the plasma F8 pool in the mouse
