Method of treating corneal transplant rejection in high risk keratoplasty patients

摘要

Methods of preventing, reducing, or treating corneal transplant rejection to improve transplant survival in a high risk subject comprising administering an agent capable of blocking or inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are provided. The methods are useful for inhibiting or preventing corneal transplant rejection in a human subject who is the recipient of a transplanted cornea.
