Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of KDR

  • Using in situ hybridization, VEGF receptor-2 (flk-1/Quek1) and the homologous flt-4 (Quek2) receptor were studied in the CAM of normal quail embryos and after VEGF(121) application on the CAM of 11-day-old quail embryos [7].
  • The similarity of action of matrix-bound L1Ig6 and soluble VEGF-A165 indicate a close link between specific ligation of alphavbeta3-integrin and VEGF-R2 and suggest the possible use of matrix-bound L1Ig6 in local therapeutic angiogenesis [2].
