Human VEGFR3/Flt-4 Antibody

VEGFR3/Flt‑4 in Human Cervical Squamous Metaplasia.

VEGFR3/Flt-4 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human cervical squamous metaplasia using Human VEGFR3/Flt-4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF349) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of Human VEGFR3/Flt-4 by Western Blot

TGF-beta 1, -beta 2 and -beta 3 reduce lymphatic marker expression in LECs.Primary human LECs were treated with 10, 20 or 30 ng/ml TGF-beta 1, -beta 2 and -beta 3 for 72 hours (a) or 100 hours (b). Untreated cells served as a control. Lysates were prepared and analysed by Western blot using antibodies specific for Lyve-1, Prox-1, VEGFR-3 or vimentin. Vinculin served as loading control. The experiment was performed twice with equivalent results. For densitometry evaluation, protein bands were analysed using the software ImageJ. Bands for the Prox-1, Lyve-1, vimentin and VEGFR-3 proteins were normalized to the corresponding loading control and are displayed as the expression level relative to the untreated control samples.

Detection of Human VEGFR3/Flt-4 by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence

Direct interaction between PI3K p85 and VEGFR-3.A, LEC whole cell lysate was immunoprecipitated with anti-PI3K or isotype control IgG followed by Western blotting of phospho-tyrosine (p-Tyr), VEGFR-3 or PI3K. LECs were treated with vehicle control (serum-free media ‘0′), IgG control, VEGF-C (100 ng/ml, C) or VEGF-A (100 ng/ml, A) ligand for 15 minutes. Control untreated LEC whole cell lysate is indicate by ‘WCL’ and Jurkat cell lysate served as a positive control (Jurkat). B, Detection of VEGFR-3/phospho-PI3K complexes (red spots) in vitro in LECs grown in absence (B, upper left panel) or presence (B, upper middle panel) of VEGF-C (100 ng/ml) for 15 minutes; CD31 staining (green); DAPI (blue); isotype IgG control in PLA (B, upper right panel); quantification of VEGFR-3/phospho-PI3K and VEGFR-3/total-PI3K PLA signals using Olink Imaging Software (B, lower panel). Data shown as mean±s.e.m. **P0.01 using t-test analysis. n = 3. Bar = 50 µm.
