Full Functional Knockout of Placental Growth Factor by Knockin with an Inactive Variant Able to Heterodimerize with VEGF-A
1 Jun 2018
Abstract excerpt
Placental growth factor (PlGF) is a proangiogenic member of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family playing a central role in pathological angiogenesis. PlGF-DE is a PlGF variant unable to bind vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1) but still able to generate heterodimer with VEGF-A. We have generated PlGF-DE knockin mice that are vital and fertile and show unaltered expression of...
