Transgenic mammals are provided which develop neovascularization of the retina, similar to that found in a variety of disease states, including diabetes, age related macular degeneration, retinopathy of prematurity, sickle cell retinopathy. These mammals can be used as test systems to evaluate potential prophylactic and therapeutic regimens. The effect of a regimen on the neovascularization is indicative of its beneficial effect in a disease state which is associated with neovascularization.
