Description : |
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a potent growth and angiogenic cytokine. It stimulates proliferation and survival of endothelial cells, and promotes angiogenesis and vascular permeability. Expressed in vascularized tissues, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) plays a prominent role in normal and pathological angiogenesis. Substantial evidence implicates Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in the induction of tumor metastasis and intra-ocular neovascular syndromes. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) signals through the three receptors; fms-like tyrosine kinase (flt-1), KDR gene product (the murine homolog of KDR is the flk-1 gene product) and the flt4 gene product. |
Form : |
Lyophilized after extensive dialysis against 25 mM HEPES and 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.0. |
Bio-activity : |
Resuspend cells in assay media containing 10 % HI-FBS and transfer 100 ul/well to assay plate (5,100 cells/well). Serial dilute murine VEGF in assay media containing 10 % HI-FBS and transfer 100ml/well to cells in assay plate. Final assay volume is 200 ml/well, containing 10 % HI-FBS, and murine VEGF as indicated 89 hours. Add 20 ml of Promega Substrate Cell Titer 96 Aqueous One Solution Reagent to each well, Incubate 37°C and read at OD 490 nm. The ED50 for the effect is typically 4.1 - 6.2 ng/ml. |
