Phage antibodies with pan-species recognition of the oncofoetal angiogenesis marker fibronectin ED-B domain
4 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
Fibronectin (FN) exists in several polymorphic forms due to alternative splicing. The B-FN isoform (with ED-B domain inserted by splicing) is present in the stroma of foetal and neoplastic tissues and in adult and neoplastic blood vessels during angiogenesis but is undetectable in mature vessels. This isoform, therefore, represents a promising marker for angiogenesis, as already shown using the mouse monoclonal...
