Figure Lengend Snippet: (A and B) Subsequent to a 6-hour period of serum deprivation (1% FBS), HBMECs underwent treatment with growth factors as detailed. Post-incubation, the cell culture supernatant underwent centrifugation and analysis as per the protocols outlined in the Human VEGF ELISA Kit – Quantikine (R&D Systems, SVE00). (C) A fitting curve was generated to depict the correlation between VEGF-A concentration and in-vitro incubation duration. The determination of VEGF-A half-life time was computed utilizing the formula t = − t 1 · ln 2, yielding a value of 26.76 minutes.
Article Snippet: After being briefly vortexed and centrifuged at 12,000× g for 10 min at 4 °, the cell lysates went through the protocol of Human Phospho-VEGFR1/Flt-1 DuoSet IC ELISA kit (R&D Systems, DYC4170), Human Phospho-VEGFR2/KDR DuoSet IC ELISA kit (R&D Systems, DYC1766), or Human Phospho-PDGFRβ DuoSet IC ELISA kit (R&D Systems, DYC1767) to assess the phosphorylation levels of VEGFR1, VEGFR2, or PDGFRβ, respectively.
