Periocular Gene Transfer of Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor Inhibits Choroidal Neovascularization in a Human-Sized Eye
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Gene transfer provides a potential way to achieve sustained delivery of therapeutic proteins to the eye. Studies in rodents have suggested that periocular injection of adenoviral vectors containing expression cassettes for antiangiogenic proteins results in high intraocular levels of the proteins and suppression of choroidal neovascularization (CNV). However, the differences in size and scleral thickness between...
