Extra Details:: Research grade Ramucirumab biosimilar uses the same protein sequences as the therapeutic antibody ramucirumab. Ramucirumab, a fully human IgG1 monoclonal antibody and a direct VEGFR2 antagonist, binds with high affinity to the extracellular domain of VEGFR2 and block the binding of natural VEGFR ligands (VEGF-A, VEGF-C and VEGF-D). These ligands are secreted by solid tumors to promote angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones) and enhance tumor blood supply. Binding of ramucirumab to VEGFR2 leads to inhibition of VEGF-mediated tumor angiogenesis. Kinase insert domain receptor (KDR, a type IV receptor tyrosine kinase, CD309, cluster of differentiation 309, Flk1, Fetal Liver Kinase 1) is the human gene encoding vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), which is a VEGF receptor. The Q472H germline KDR genetic variant affects VEGFR-2 phosphorylation and has been found to associate with microvessel density in NSCLC. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Neutralization, Functional Assays such as bioanalytical PK and ADA assays, and those assays for studying biological pathways affected by Ramucirumab. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
