In this study, for the first time, we investigated about the localization of VEGF-A, VEGFR-2 and Ang-2 in the choroid plexuses of the adult mouse by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results showed that VEGF-A stained epithelial cells, while anti-VEGFR-2 and -Ang-2 antibodies stained endothelial cells. These data suggest that Ang-2, converting blood vessels into a more plastic and immature phenotype, would provide more accessibility of VEGF-A to endothelial cells. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
In this study, for the first time, we investigated about the localization of VEGF-A, VEGFR-2 and Ang-2 in the choroid plexuses of the adult mouse by Western blot and immunohistochemistry. Results showed that VEGF-A stained epithelial cells, while anti-VEGFR-2 and -Ang-2 antibodies stained endothelial cells. These data suggest that Ang-2, converting blood vessels into a more plastic and immature phenotype, would provide more accessibility of VEGF-A to endothelial cells. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
