Dual angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2)/vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) inhibition prevents ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury–induced retinal permeability and cell death. (A) General experimental protocol used to assess treatment effects on limiting vascular permeability and cell death in the retinal I/R injury mouse model. (B,C) Retinal fluorescein isothiocyanate–labeled bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) permeability (B) and retinal apoptotic DNA fragmentation (C) 2 days after I/R injury following intravitreal injection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) control, anti–VEGF-A, anti–Ang-2, or bi-specific anti–Ang-2/VEGF-A antibodies (n = 5–8 eyes) 4 days before analysis. Values are mean ± SD. One-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001. D, day; IVT, intravitreal.
