Vaccine therapy for choroidal neovascularization

摘要

The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical agents and methods for treating or preventing diseases caused by neovascularization in human choroid (neovascular maculopathy). The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines for treating and/or preventing diseases caused by neovascularization in human choroid (neovascular maculopathy), comprising at least one type each of a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence derived from a VEGFR-1 protein and having an activity of inducing cytotoxic T cells, and a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence derived from a VEGFR-2 protein and having an activity of inducing cytotoxic T cells.
