Objective To determine whether kringle 4-5 could inhibit choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in mice induced by argon laser photocoagulat ion. Methods Fundus laser photocoagulation was performed on C57BL/6J mice to induce CNV. In treatment group, 20 μg (low dosage group) and 50 μg (high dosage group) kringle 4-5 were injected retrobulbarly after photocoagulation. In control group, equilibrium liquid was injected retrobulbarly. Choroidal neovascularization was evaluated on the 7th and 14th day after photocoagulation by fundus fluorescein ang iography. The mice were killed on the 14th day after photocoagulation, the lesions were evaluated histologically and immunohistochemically, and the expression of CD105 was detected. The Expression of VEGF and bFGF was detected by immunohist ochemistry on the 4th day after photocoagulation.Results The incidence of CNV was 64.3% in control group, 51.2%（P＜0.05）in low dosage group, and 44. 1% (P＜0.01) in high dosage group. The CNV lesions were smaller in kringle 4-5 injected eyes in a dose-dependent manner and the number of proliferative vascular endothelial cells in the subretinal membrane of the treated eyes was smaller than that of the control eyes. There was no significant difference of the expression of VEGF and bFGF between the mice in control and treatment group.Conclus ions Kringle 4-5 could inhibit the development of choroidal neovascularization in the experimental mice model.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：201-268)
