General notes
Western blot protocol advice:
Please note that expression of VEGFA is low in most samples without treatment (e.g. hypoxia / DFX / CoCl2). Cell treatment with a Golgi inhibitor (e.g. brefeldin A) may enhance detection. Loading a high amount of sample (>50 µg) and addition of protease inhibitors (e.g. ab65621) may also enhance detection.This antibody clone is manufactured by Abcam. If you require a custom buffer formulation or conjugation for your experiments, please contact orders@abcam.com.

Applications
Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab1316 in the following tested applications.
The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
| Application | Abreviews | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ICC/IF | Use a concentration of 5 µg/ml. | |
| IP | 1/1000. See Abreview. |
|
| WB | Use a concentration of 5 - 10 µg/ml. Please note in our hands this antibody is sensitive to blocking conditions. If you are seeing no bands on your western blot, we suggest using 3% milk for 1 hr at RT for blocking. For the primary antibody incubation step, we suggest 1 hr at RT rather than overnight at 4°C. We would also recommend incubating primary and secondary antibodies in TBST only. |
|
| ELISA | Use at an assay dependent concentration. | |
| ICC | Use a concentration of 10 µg/ml. See Abreview. | |
| IHC-P | Use a concentration of 5 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol. | |
| IHC-Fr | Use at an assay dependent concentration. |

Function
Growth factor active in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. Induces endothelial cell proliferation, promotes cell migration, inhibits apoptosis and induces permeabilization of blood vessels. Binds to the FLT1/VEGFR1 and KDR/VEGFR2 receptors, heparan sulfate and heparin. NRP1/Neuropilin-1 binds isoforms VEGF-165 and VEGF-145. Isoform VEGF165B binds to KDR but does not activate downstream signaling pathways, does not activate angiogenesis and inhibits tumor growth. -
Tissue specificity
Isoform VEGF189, isoform VEGF165 and isoform VEGF121 are widely expressed. Isoform VEGF206 and isoform VEGF145 are not widely expressed. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in VEGFA are a cause of susceptibility to microvascular complications of diabetes type 1 (MVCD1) [MIM:603933]. These are pathological conditions that develop in numerous tissues and organs as a consequence of diabetes mellitus. They include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy leading to end-stage renal disease, and diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy remains the major cause of new-onset blindness among diabetic adults. It is characterized by vascular permeability and increased tissue ischemia and angiogenesis. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. -
Cellular localization
Secreted. VEGF121 is acidic and freely secreted. VEGF165 is more basic, has heparin-binding properties and, although a signicant proportion remains cell-associated, most is freely secreted. VEGF189 is very basic, it is cell-associated after secretion and is bound avidly by heparin and the extracellular matrix, although it may be released as a soluble form by heparin, heparinase or plasmin. - Information by UniProt

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-VEGFA antibody [VG-1] (ab1316)IHC image of ab1316 staining VEGF in human cerebellum formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab1316, 5μg/ml working concentration, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. No primary antibody was used in the secondary only control (shown on the inset).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times. -

Tissue samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200 in PBST +1% BSA) for 16 hours at 4°C. A biotin-conjugated Goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody. Tissue was counterstained with Hematoxylin (1/10) for 30 seconds at room temperature and rinsed with water. -
