abstract |
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for prevention and treatment of 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 said bioactive lipid. In some embodiments, the immune-derived moiety is a monoclonal antibody that is reactive against sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) or lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). |
