Adenovirus encoding vascular endothelial growth factor–D induces tissue-specific vascular patterns in vivo

Abstract excerpt

The capacity of an adenovirus encoding the mature form of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-D, VEGF-D Delta N Delta C, to induce angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, or both was analyzed in 2 distinct in vivo models. We first demonstrated in vitro that VEGF-D Delta N Delta C encoded by the adenovirus (Ad-VEGF-D Delta N Delta C) is capable of inducing endothelial cell proliferation and migration and that the...
