Purpose: Specific blocking of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is a novel therapeutic approach. Here, we report the first phase I clinical trial evaluation of CDP791, a PEGylated di-Fab' conjugate that binds VEGFR-2.
Experimental Design: Cohorts of patients received CDP791 at doses between 0.
Purpose: Radiation-induced changes in glomerular and tubular cell kinetics and morphology following irradiation of a single pig kidney were assessed.
Methods And Materials: The right kidney of 13 adult female Large White pigs was irradiated with a single dose of 9.8 Gy gamma rays.
Both kidneys of 13 mature female Large White pigs were irradiated with a single dose of 9.8 Gy 60Co gamma rays. The pigs were killed serially between 2 to 24 weeks after irradiation.

In this study we have quantified division delay in two mouse tumors in vivo after single and fractionated doses of X rays and single doses of neutrons. The incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine and flow cytometry provided a sensitive and quantitative method to detect cell cycle perturbations after radiation treatment.
