Aurintricarboxylic Acid Inhibits Complement Activation, Membrane Attack Complex, and Choroidal Neovascularization in a Model of Macular Degeneration

PURPOSE. Immunocytochemical and genetic data implicate a significant role for the activation of complement in the pathology of AMD. Individuals homozygous for a Y402H polymorphism in Factor H have elevated levels of membrane attack complex (MAC) in their choroidal blood vessels and RPE relative to i...
