Abstract

In this work, we report a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based live-cell biosensing platform to measure and compare the binding affinity of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) to vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and VEGF to bevacizumab. Results have shown that bevacizumab binds VEGF with a higher association rate and affinity compared to VEGFR. Further, this platform has been employed to mimic the in vivo condition of the VEGF?VEGFR angiogenic switch. Competitive binding to VEGF between VEGFR and bevacizumab was monitored in real-time using this platform. Results demonstrated a significant blockage of VEGF?VEGFR binding by bevacizumab. From the results, it is evident that the proposed strategy is simple and highly sensitive for the direct and real-time measurements of bevacizumab drug efficacy to the VEGF?VEGFR angiogenic switch in living SKOV-3 cells.
