- We produced, characterized and purified a covalent conjugate VEGFR1d2-HRP.
- The VEGFR1d2-HRP conjugate retained a dissociation constant for VEGF of 15Â nM.
- A displacement assay was developed for both VEGFR1d2 and VEGF binding ligands.
- The displacement assay was accurate and faster than a previously described assay.
The VEGFR1 has been shown to play a role in the regulation of angiogenesis, and has therefore been associated to several pathologies. In order to extend our toolbox of screening methods for the identification of compounds disrupting the VEGF receptor 1/VEGF interaction, we developed a fast and accurate displacement assay, in which VEGF receptor 1 domain 2 is directly labeled with an enzyme, bypassing the classical streptavidin-biotin interaction system. A description of this straightforward strategy is provided here, including its advantages and disadvantages. Optimization of the reagents preparation, purification and conservation, and displacement assay with known molecular entities are presented.
