Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of angiogenesis under physiological conditions and in various diseases (i.e. neoplasia).Its activity is mediated through specific receptors like KDR (kinase-insert-domain-receptor, VEGF-receptor-2). In this study, the KDR was localized immunhistochemically in several normal tissues of monkeys. Its presence was found on endothelial cells as well as in other non-endothelial tissues, i.e. epithelium of glands, lymphocytes and smooth muscle cells. In the study in hand, the chondrocytes, muscle cells of the heart and the fibrocytes were identified as KDR-expressing structures for the first time.
