The Squirrel Monkey: Characterization of a New-World Primate Model of Experimental Choroidal Neovascularization and Comparison with the Macaque

Abstract

Like the macaque, the squirrel monkey can be considered a useful primate model for experimental CNV investigations, while additionally offering certain species-specific advantages. Diffuse FVT permit studies of antiangiogenic therapies in areas distant from laser photocoagulative trauma sites.
