Molecular imaging and biological evaluation of HuMV833 anti-VEGF antibody: implications for trial design of antiangiogenic antibodies (2002)
Journal Article

Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a
potent angiogenic cytokine, and various inhibitory agents,
including specific antibodies, have been developed to block
VEGF-stimulated angiogenesis. We developed HuMV833,
a humanized vers... Read More about Molecular imaging and biological evaluation of HuMV833 anti-VEGF antibody: implications for trial design of antiangiogenic antibodies.
