DL-2-aminoadipic acid (DL-AAA), a retinal glial (Müller) cell toxin, has been shown to induce retinal neovascularization (RNV) and chronic retinal vasculature leakage after intravitreal (IVT) administration. Here, we have extensively characterized DL-AAA induced angiographic features in Dutch Belted (DB) rabbit eyes and established suitability of this model to test anti-neovascular therapies.
