“…25 All blots were incubated overnight at 4°C with each of the following Abs: a mouse monoclonal Ab for VEGF-A (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc, San Diego, CA, USA) and for endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) (Transduction Laboratories, Lexington, KY, USA), the rat anti-mouse Abs for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and IL-6 (BioLegend, Inc, San Diego, CA, USA), and a goat polyclonal Ab for dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH)-1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and for DDAH-2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Next, the blots were washed with tris-buffered saline with tween 20, incubated with horseradish peroxidase-coupled goat anti-mouse IgG for VEGF-A and eNOS, goat anti-rat IgG for TNF-α and IL-6, and donkey anti-goat IgG for DDAH-1 and DDAH-2, at room temperature for 1 h, then developed using enhanced chemiluminescent detection (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Uppsala, Sweden), and finally exposed to film.…”
