inhibition of CD9 expression or function via intravitreous injections of siRNA-CD9 or anti-CD9 antibodies may provide a new therapeutic strategy for angiogenesis such as that observed in certain ocular diseases
ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • CD9-/- mouse females displayed a severe reduction of fertility
  • litter size from CD9-/- mouse was less than 2% of that of the wild type
  • CD9 homozygous mutant mouse females were infertile
