About InVivoSIM anti-human VEGF (Bevacizumab Biosimilar) This non-therapeutic biosimilar antibody uses the same variable regions from the therapeutic antibody Bevacizumab making it ideal for research use. This Bevacizumab biosimilar reacts with human VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor). VEGF is a 45 kDa homodimeric, disulfide-linked glycoprotein that plays key roles in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis, and endothelial cell growth. It promotes mitogenesis, chemotaxis, and vascular permeability. Most tumors have a requirement for angiogenesis, and inhibition of VEGF biding to VEGF receptors has been the focus of several tumor therapeutic strategies. Bevacizumab neutralizes the biological activity of VEGF by preventing the interaction of VEGF with its receptors on the surface of endothelial cells, resulting in the inhibition of tumor growth.
