Product Description |
Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). VEGF is a growth factor that participates in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and endothelial cell growth. It facilitates endothelial cell proliferation, cell migration, and the permeabilization of blood vessels. In addition, VEGF inhibits apoptosis. Bevacizumab neutralizes the biological activity of VEGF by preventing the interaction of VEGF with its receptors on the surface of endothelial cells, resulting in the regression of tumor vascularization, normalization of remaining tumor vasculature, and inhibition of the formation of new tumor vasculature, thus inhibiting tumor growth.1 Anti-Human VEGF (Bevacizumab) utilizes the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Bevacizumab making it ideal for research projects. |
Formulation |
This biosimilar antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration. |
