Models :

• CORNEAL angiogenesis: sutures or alkali burn
• RETINAL angiogenesis / retinopathy of prematurity (ROP): animal model of oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR)
• CHOROIDAL neovascularization: experimental argon laser-induced CNV (choroidal neovascularization)

Administration : topical ocular application, intraperitoneal injection, subcutaneous application, intravitreal injection, per os

Animals : albino or pigmented rabbits, rats, mice

Evaluation :

• length of new vessels
• fluorescein permeation (fluorotron )
• angiography (HRA)
• histology (number of new vessels ...)
• retina examination (fundus, HRT)
• corneal examination (HRT)
• visualization and quantification of size of the lesion in the CNV model (flatmount evaluation)…

Control substance : corticoids
