Background: CIGB-247 is a cancer therapeutic vaccine that uses as antigen a variant of human vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mixed with the bacterially-derived adjuvant VSSP. CIGB-247 has been already evaluated in two phase I clinical trials (CENTAURO and CENTAURO-2), showing to be safe and immunogenic in advanced cancer patients selected...

... and VEGFR3. As expected, there was no binding of VEGFR1 and bevacizumab (Figure 5a). To check this form of ligand presentation in ELISA, hVEGF CHO was evaluated in the same ELISA conditions, and VEGF was recognized by PCS with statistically significant differences as compared to NCS (unpaired t test, p=0.0009). ...

Also, VEGF was recognized by bevacizumab and its cognate receptors VEGFR1 and VEGFR2. As expected, there was no binding for VEGFR3 (Fig. ...

... CHO was recognized by VEGFR3 when captured through its histidine tag using nickel coated high sensitivity multiwell plates; binding of IgG comp was lower than that observed for IgG neg with statistically significant differences (unpaired t test, p=0.0368) (Fig. 5b). Similar result was obtained for commercially available VEGF-D (unpaired t test, p=0.0061). For commercially available VEGF-C, no differences were found between IgG comp and IgG neg (unpaired t test, p=0.0660). This form of ligand presentation in ELISA was checked using hVEGF CHO at the same conditions. As expected, VEGF was recognized ...
