ABSTRACT:
A method for evaluating in vivo a test substance for angiogenesis modulation activity, including the steps of providing a rodent pup having a pupillary membrane system in a first eye, injecting transcorneally proximate to the pupillary membrane a test substance; and examining the pupillary membrane to determine whether new vascular tissue has grown. The method can also evaluate the ability of a test substance to regress existing vascular tissue, or to inhibit or prevent new vascular tissue, by injecting transcorneally a first substance that induces new vascular tissue growth, then injecting a test substance, and examining the pupillary membrane to determine whether new vascular tissue has grown. The assay can also be used to evaluate the effect of a small molecule on a property of a capillary vessel, and to evaluate a test substance on a problematic vascular condition.
