An engineered tetra-valent antibody fully activates the Tie2 receptor with comparable potency to its natural ligand angiopoietin-1
Abstract Activation of the tyrosine kinase with Ig and epidermal growth factor homology domain 2 (Tie2) receptor by angiopoietin-1 (Ang1) is critical for vascular stabilization: it promotes survival signal transduction via auto-phosphorylation and reduces vascular permeability by strengthening tight...
