Effects of Recombinant VEGFA Protein or VEGFAxxxb Antibody on Rat Embrynic Testis Testis Cord Formation and Vascular Development in vitro (Data from Baltes-Breitwisch et al. 2010)

Recombinant VEGFA Protein	Effect on Cord Formation	Effects on Vasculature	PECAM Staining
VEGFA120	Swollen cords with some perturbed (R&D Systems, #494-VE)	Thickened coelomic vessel, more vasculature between cords	157%
VEGFA164	Some cords misshapen or perturbed (R&D Systems, #564-RV)	Thickened coelomic vessel, more vasculature between cords that formed	160%
VEGFAxxxb antibody (5 ng/ml)	Swollen or perturbed cords, misshapen cords (Abcam, #ab14994)	Increased vasculature all throughout testis	195%
VEGFAxxxb antibody (50 ng/ml)	Swollen or perturbed cords, misshapen cords (Abcam, #ab14994)	Increased vasculature all throughout testis	195%

VEGFA = vascular endothelial growth factor A
