KDR (Cat #: AA121)
Rabbit polyclonal antibody to KDR
KDR in placenta
Immunohistochemical detection of KDR in blood vessels endothelial cells in formalin fixed human placenta. 8 μm paraffin-embedded tissue sections were incubated with rabbit polyclonal antibody to KDR at 8 μg/mL overnight at 4°C followed by HRP/AEC detection (red) and counterstaining with hematoxylin (blue).

Function: KDR is the receptor for VEGF or VEGFC. It has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. The VEGF-kinase ligand/receptor signaling system plays a key role in vascular development and regulation of vascular permeability. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions.
Applications:Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Western Blotting (WB).
Working Dilution for Immunofluorescence (ICC):5 – 15 µg/mL
Working Dilution for Immunohistochemistry (IHC):5 – 10 µg/mL
Working Dilution for Western Blottin (WB):1 µg/mL
IHC Positive control:Endothelial cells in vasculature
Specificity:Confirmed by WB.
Reactivity:Human
Reconstitution:Reconstitute in 0.05 mL of PBS (pH 7.4) to achieve an antibody concentration of 1000 µg/mL. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material.
Storage / Stability:At least 12 months after purchase at 2 - 4°C. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability and at 4°C with an appropriate antibacterial agent. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.
