  1. 1
    An isolated short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) comprising a sense RNA strand from about 19 to about 25 nucleotides in length and an antisense RNA strand from about 19 to about 25 nucleotides in length, wherein the sense and antisense RNA strands form an RNA duplex, and wherein the sense RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence in human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA wherein said target sequence is selected from SEQ ID No. 47, SEQ ID No. 48, SEQ ID No. 50, SEQ ID No. 51, SEQ ID No. 52 and SEQ ID No. 56.
  2. 17
    A recombinant plasmid comprising nucleic acid sequences for expressing a short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) comprising a sense RNA strand and an antisense RNA strand, wherein the sense and antisense RNA strands form an RNA duplex, and wherein the sense RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence in human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA wherein said target sequence is selected from SEQ ID No. 47, SEQ ID No. 48, SEQ ID No. 50, SEQ ID No. 51, SEQ ID No. 52 and SEQ ID No. 56.
  3. 22
    A recombinant viral vector comprising nucleic acid sequences for expressing a short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) comprising a sense RNA strand and an antisense RNA strand, wherein the sense and antisense RNA strands form an RNA duplex, and wherein the sense RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence in human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA wherein said target sequence is selected from SEQ ID No. 47, SEQ ID No. 48, SEQ ID No. 50, SEQ ID No. 51, SEQ ID No. 52 and SEQ ID No. 56.
  4. 29
    A pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the siRNA comprises a sense RNA strand and an antisense RNA strand, wherein the sense and antisense RNA strands form an RNA duplex, and wherein the sense RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence in human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA wherein said target sequence is selected from SEQ ID No. 47, SEQ ID No. 48, SEQ ID No. 50, SEQ ID No. 51, SEQ ID No. 52 and SEQ ID No. 56.
  5. 35
    An effective amount of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) comprising a sense RNA strand and an antisense RNA strand, wherein the sense and antisense RNA strands form an RNA duplex, and wherein the sense RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence in human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA for use in inhibiting expression of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA in a subject wherein said target sequence is selected from SEQ ID No. 47, SEQ ID No. 48, SEQ ID No. 50, SEQ ID No. 51, SEQ ID No. 52 and SEQ ID No. 56.
  6. 63
    An effective amount of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) comprising a sense RNA strand and an antisense RNA strand, wherein the sense and antisense RNA strands form an RNA duplex, and wherein the sense RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence in human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA wherein said target sequence is selected from SEQ ID No. 47, SEQ ID No. 48, SEQ ID No. 50, SEQ ID No. 51, SEQ ID No. 52 and SEQ ID No. 56 for use in preventing angiogenesis.
  7. 71
    An effective amount of short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) comprising a sense RNA strand and an antisense RNA strand, wherein the sense and antisense RNA strands form an RNA duplex, and wherein the sense RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence in human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA wherein said target sequence is selected from SEQ ID No. 47, SEQ ID No. 48, SEQ ID No. 50, SEQ ID No. 51, SEQ ID No. 52 and SEQ ID No. 56 for use in treating angiogenic disease such that angiogenesis associated with angiogenic disease is inhibited.
