General Notes
Mouse anti Human VEGF antibody, clone CD17-1E1, 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 purified Mouse anti Human VEGF antibody, clone CD17-1E1 (MCA6286GA) can be used as a capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA with the biotinylated Mouse anti Human VEGF antibody, clone CD19-4G11 (MCA6287B) as the detection antibody.
