NCIt synonyms : Anti-VEGFR-2 Monoclonal Antibody MSB0254;
NCIt definition : A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against human vascular endothelial growth
factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2; VEGFR2) with potential anti-angiogenesis and antineoplastic
activities. Upon administration, anti-VEGFR2 monoclonal antibody MSB0254 specifically
binds to and inhibits VEGFR2, which may inhibit tumor angiogenesis and tumor cell
proliferation. VEGFR2, a tyrosine-protein kinase that plays an essential role in angiogenesis
and the proliferation, survival, migration and differentiation of endothelial cells,
is overexpressed in certain tumor types.;
