    摘要: The invention is directed to a method of prophylactically or therapeutically treating an animal for vascular leakage in an eye. The method comprises administering to an animal in need thereof an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) such that vascular leakage in the eye of the animal is treated prophylactically or therapeutically. The invention also provides a method of prophylactically or therapeutically treating an animal for vascular leakage in an eye. The method comprises periocularly administering to an animal in need thereof PEDF such that vascular leakage of the animal is treated prophylactically or therapeutically. The invention also provides a method of prophylactically or therapeutically treating an animal for non-diabetic vascular leakage in an eye. The method comprises administering to an animal in need thereof PEDF such that non-diabetic vascular leakage in the eye is treated prophylactically or therapeutically.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method of prophylactically or therapeutically treating an animal for at least one ocular-related disorder, e.g., ocular neovascularization or age-related macular degeneration. The method comprises contacting an ocular cell with an expression vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an inhibitor of angiogenesis and the same or different nucleic acid sequence encoding a neurotrophic agent. The method also can comprise contacting an ocular cell with different expression vectors, each comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an inhibitor of angiogenesis and/or a nucleic acid sequence encoding a neurotrophic agent. In addition, the present invention provides a viral vector comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) or a therapeutic fragment thereof.
