Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2/KDR) serves as the primary mediator of VEGF-induced angiogenic signaling, making it a central focus in cancer biology, cardiovascular research, and stem cell studies. As a type III receptor tyrosine kinase, KDR transduces critical signals that regulate endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and survival—processes fundamental to both physiological angiogenesis and pathological neovascularization in tumor microenvironments.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody (clone 11F8) offers the consistency and reliability that demanding experimental workflows require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined genetic sequences rather than hybridoma supernatants, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot reproducibility that supports longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 format and affinity-chromatography purification ensure high specificity for human KDR, generated against recombinant human KDR protein as the immunogen.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates clear utility for tissue-based studies. Testing in paraffin-embedded human lung tissue at 1:200 dilution using a Leica Bond system with citrate buffer antigen retrieval (pH 6.0) and HRP-polymer detection confirms reliable performance in FFPE workflows. The recommended working range of 1:50–1:200 provides flexibility for optimization across different tissue types and detection systems. Additional validation for ELISA applications extends this antibody's utility to quantitative protein detection assays.
For researchers investigating tumor angiogenesis, cardiovascular development, metabolic regulation, or stem cell biology, this KDR antibody provides a sequence-defined tool for exploring VEGFR2 signaling pathways. The unconjugated format allows pairing with detection systems of choice, supporting integration into established laboratory protocols.
