Protein expression analysis
Strain specific VEGFA expression analysis in homozygous B-hVEGFA mice by ELISA. Mouse lung homogenates was collected from wild-type mice (+/+) and B-hVEGFA mice (H/H), and analyzed by ELISA with species-specific VEGFA kit. Mouse VEGFA was detectable in wild-type mice. Human VEGFA was exclusively detectable in B-hVEGFA mice but not in wild-type mice.
Fundus photographs of B-hVEGFA mice
Fundus photographs of B-hVEGFA mice. Fundus images shows that the fundus morphology of B-hVEGFA mice has no significant change compared with wild-type mice(male, n=3).
Angiogenesis analysis
We investigated by immunohistochemistry the expression of mCD31 in the heart, liver, lung, kidney and eye of C57BL/6 mice and B-hVEGFA mice (female, 8 week-old, n=3). The results showed that there was no significant difference in the proportion of mCD31+ between C57BL/6 mice and B-hVEGFA mice in heart, liver, lung, kidney, eye. It is suggested that VEGFA humanized has no effect on angiogenesis.
