AMINO ACID SEQUENCES DIRECTED AGAINST VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR AND POLYPEPTIDES COMPRISING THE SAME FOR THE TREATMENT OF CONDITIONS AND DISEASES CHARACTERIZED BY EXCESSIVE AND/OR PATHOLOGICAL ANGIOGENESIS OR NEOVASCULARIZATION

摘要

The present invention relates to amino acid sequences that are directed against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as well as to compounds or constructs, and in particular proteins and polypeptides, that comprise or essentially consist of one or more such amino acid sequences. The amino acid sequences, compounds and constructs can be used for prophylactic, therapeutic or diagnostic purposes, such as for the treatment of conditions and diseases characterized by excessive and/or pathological angiogenesis or neovascularization.
