| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Age-related macular degeneration is one of the major causes of blindness in Japan, and is a disease that causes abnormal angiogenesis in the eye. In this study, we targeted advanced glycation end product that increase by aging and are considered to cause angiogenesis. In this study, we searched new antibodies to the product. All of the novel antibodies obtained in this study did not show any significant angiogenesis inhibitory effect, but the results obtained are considered to be the basis for further research in the near future.
