Figure 1From: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibody attenuates inflammation and decreases mortality in an experimental model of severe sepsisThe expression of VEGF mRNA in HUVECs. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were stimulated with 1 μg/ml lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for up to 5 h. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA levels were semi-quantified by RT-PCR. Error bars represent SD. *P <0.01 compared to non-treated HUVECs (n = 4).Back to article page
