Macrophages are important participants in neovascularization. This study was designed to examine the role of the monocyte/macrophage chemotactic proteins, monocyte chemotactic protein‐1 (MCP‐1), and macrophage inflammatory protein‐1α (MIP‐1α) in a mouse model of oxygen‐induced ischemic retinopathy a...
