Protocols
Specificity / Sensitivity
VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of VEGF receptor 2 protein. This antibody does not cross-react with other family members.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant protein containing the carboxy-terminal 150 amino acid residues of human VEGF receptor 2.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines and primary cell cultures, using VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit mAb. PAE/CKR cells overexpress chimeric receptors containing human CSF-1 extracellular binding domain/mouse VEGF receptor 2 intracellular domains (Rahimi, N. et al. [2000] J. Biol. Chem. 275, 16986-16992). PAE/VEGFR1 cells overexpress human VEGF receptor 1.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human astrocytoma, using VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit mAb.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded breast angiosarcoma, using VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit mAb (left). A serial section is stained for CD31 (PECAM-1), an endothelial cell marker (right).
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded HUVEC cells, using VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit mAb.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human renal adenocarcinoma, using VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit mAb.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded HT-29 xenograft, using VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit mAb. Note staining of mouse blood vessels.
IF-IC
Confocal immunofluorescent images of HUVEC cells untreated (left) or stimulated with Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) #9943 (right) and labeled with Phospho-VEGF Receptor 2 (Tyr1175) (19A10) Rabbit mAb #2478 (top, green) and VEGF Receptor 2 (55B11) Rabbit mAb (bottom, green). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5® (fluorescent DNA dye).
Background
Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2, KDR, Flk-1) is a major receptor for VEGF-induced signaling in endothelial cells. Upon ligand binding, VEGFR2 undergoes autophosphorylation and becomes activated (1). Major autophosphorylation sites of VEGFR2 are located in the kinase insert domain (Tyr951/996) and in the tyrosine kinase catalytic domain (Tyr1054/1059) (2). Activation of the receptor leads to rapid recruitment of adaptor proteins, including Shc, GRB2, PI3 kinase, NCK, and the protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2 (3). Phosphorylation at Tyr1212 provides a docking site for GRB2 binding and phospho-Tyr1175 binds the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase and PLCγ, as well as Shb (1,4,5). Signaling from VEGFR2 is necessary for the execution of VEGF-stimulated proliferation, chemotaxis and sprouting, as well as survival of cultured endothelial cells in vitro and angiogenesis in vivo (6-8).
