Lymphatic valve defects are one of the major causes of lymph transport dysfunction; however, there are no accessible methods for quantitatively assessing valve function. This report describes a novel technique for quantifying lymphatic valve back-leak. Postnatal endothelial-specific deletion of connexin 43 (Cx43) in connexin 37 null (Cx37-/- ) mice results in rapid regression of valve leaflets and severe valve dysfunction. This method can also be used for assessing the function of venous and lymphatic valves from various species, including humans.Note
