Improvement and Optimization of Standards for a Preclinical Animal Test Model of Laser Induced Choroidal Neovascularization

As the murine model of laser-induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is becoming the most established and commonly utilized model worldwide for studying the pathogenesis of CNV and its response to treatment, specific operating standards are yet to be clarified. The purpose of this study is to compare the lesion size of CNV in mice with different ages, sex, durations of CNV process, and treated positions of laser spots, to make recommendations that may improve and optimize the quality of the model. day after photocoagulation. Laser spots delivered 1PD away from the optic disc induced the biggest area of CNV compared to those 2PD or 3PD away. Interaction of NV was observed in laser spots delivered less than 1PD away from each other. day after photocoagulation
