COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF FIBROTIC, INFLAMMATORY AND NEOVASCULARIZATION CONDITIONS

摘要

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the treatment of diseases and conditions, including ocular diseases and conditions, characterized by aberrant fibrogenesis or scarring, inflammation and/or aberrant neovascularization or angiogenesis. The compositions and methods of the invention utilize immune-derived moieties that are specifically reactive against bioactive lipids and which are capable of decreasing the effective concentration of the bioactive lipids. In some embodiments, the immune-derived moiety is a monoclonal antibody that is reactive against sphinxine-1-phosphate (S1P) or lysophosphophatidic acid (LPA).
