CELL MODEL FOR NEOVASCULAR DISEASES USING EBV-INFECTED HUMAN CORNEAL EPITHELIAL CELLS

摘要

The present invention relates to a cell model for neovascular diseases using Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-infected human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC). Provided are: a method for preparing a cell model for neovascular diseases comprising a step of infecting HCEC with EBV, a step of culturing the infected HCEC, and a step of checking whether the cultured HCEC is infected with EBV; and a cell model for neovascular diseases prepared by the preparation method. In addition, provided is a method for screening neovascular disease therapeutic agents using the cell model for neovascular diseases.
