NCIt definition : A nanobody directed against angiopoietin-2 (Ang2; ANGPT2)- and vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF)-derived peptides, with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic
activities. Anti-VEGF/ANG2 nanobody BI 836880 binds to Ang2 and VEGF and inhibits
receptor binding; this prevents Ang2- and VEGF-mediated signaling and inhibits both
tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell proliferation. Both VEGF and Ang2 are upregulated
in a variety of cancer cell types and play a crucial role in angiogenesis. The nanobody
is based on functional fragments of single-chain antibodies.;
