Department of Radiology, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX, USA
Neoplasia 5:308-18. 2003..These results further validate the utilization of FREDOM to monitor tumor oxygenation and concur with the hypothesis that the level of hypoxia is related to tumor growth rate and poor vascularity... - Oxygenation in a human tumor xenograft: manipulation through respiratory challenge and antibody-directed infarctionRalph P Mason
Department of Radiology, U.T. Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390, USA
Adv Exp Med Biol 530:197-204. 2003..This has allowed us both to investigate dynamic response to respiratory challenge (carbogen) and to probe the mechanisms of a new anti-vascular therapy designed to produce tumor-specific infarction... - Evaluation of novel antimouse VEGFR2 antibodies as potential antiangiogenic or vascular targeting agents for tumor therapySophia Ran
Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, TX 75390-8594, USA
Neoplasia 5:297-307. 2003..Vascular damage was not observed in normal organs, including kidneys and pancreas. These studies demonstrate that anti-VEGFR2 antibodies have potential for vascular targeting and imaging of tumors in vivo... - Increased exposure of anionic phospholipids on the surface of tumor blood vesselsSophia Ran
Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas 75390-8594, USA

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 101:11432-7. 2004..In conclusion, we hypothesize that VEGF165, produced by tumor cells, acts as an autocrine survival factor and that SEMA3B mediates its tumor-suppressing effects, at least in part, by blocking this VEGF autocrine activity... - A monoclonal antibody that blocks VEGF binding to VEGFR2 (KDR/Flk-1) inhibits vascular expression of Flk-1 and tumor growth in an orthotopic human breast cancer modelWei Zhang
