Description:
Antisera to synthetic peptides representing sequences of both chains of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were used to structurally analyze PDGF isolated from outdated human platelets and PDGF-like proteins in normal and transformed cells. Most PDGF isolated from platelets did not contain the carboxyl portion of PDGF-2 in contrast to p20sis, the major form of p28sis detected in simian sarcoma virus-transformed cells. In addition, higher molecular weight forms of molecules containing PDGF-1 and PDGF-2 sequences were detected in all cell lines tested. These lines were heterogeneous with respect to species, cell type, and transforming agent.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Niman, H L -- Houghten, R A -- Bowen-Pope, D F -- CA 25803/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HL 18645/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Nov 9;226(4675):701-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6494905" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
