VEGF: Cutting off tumor's feeding channel

Not only vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a role in promoting angiogenesis and regeneration, but shows multiple functions such as immune regulation and neuroprotection. VEGF family members exert their effects through interactions with a family of three VEGF receptors. VEGF is up-regulated when it overexpressed in many tumors. Therefore, it becomes a hot target of drug development for tumors.
Currently, there are more than 100 antibody drugs, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and bispecific antibodies (BsAb) against VEGF are widely-used for clinical treatment.
Given its significant role in multiple cancer types, including tumors, intraocular neovascular disorders and other cardiovascular diseases, there is no surprise that VEGF has been heavily studied for new target therapeutics.
ACROBiosystems has developed a variety of VEGF proteins with different molecules, subtypes, species, and tags to help expedite your antibody drug development. All SPR&BLI protocols are available for free.
