General Notes
Mouse anti Human VEGF antibody, clone CD19-4G11, recognizes vascular endothelial growth factor alpha (VEGF-A) which forms a homodimer and is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis of both normal and cancerous cells. It acts as a regulator of vasculogenesis, angiogenesis and endothelial cell growth. VEGF-A is secreted by many different cell types such as endothelial cells (Nissen et al. 1998), smooth muscle cells (Brogi et al. 1994), neutrophils (Gaudry et al. 1997), platelets (Banks et al. 1998), macrophages and 60% of all tumors (Berse et al. 1992). The biotinylated Mouse anti Human VEGF antibody, clone CD19-4G11 (MCA6287B) can be used as a detection antibody in a sandwich ELISA with the purified Mouse anti Human VEGF antibody, clone CD17-1E1 (MCA6286GA) as the capture antibody.
