Vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf)

Manufactured by MyBioSource
Sourced in United States

VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the formation and regulation of blood vessels. It is responsible for stimulating the growth and proliferation of endothelial cells, which are the cells that line the interior of blood vessels. VEGF is essential for angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation, and is involved in various physiological and pathological processes.

Following transcardiac perfusion with ice-cold PBS, spinal cords of mice were harvested and homogenized using a lysis buffer containing protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor. Levels of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin-1β (IL-1β; RayBiotech, USA), interleukin-6 (IL-6; RayBiotech, USA) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α; RayBiotech, USA), and growth factors including brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF; MyBioSource, USA), glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF; MyBioSource, USA) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; MyBioSource, USA) in the homogenates were determined using mouse ELISA kits according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
