Description:
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) has been previously shown to be homologous to the transforming gene of simian sarcoma virus (v-sis), and inappropriate expression of the cellular counterpart of the v-sis gene (c-sis) has been implicated in the generation of mesenchymal tumors. The U-2 OS human osteosarcoma line was shown to contain multiple c-sis transcripts. Immunoprecipitation experiments with antiserum to PDGF identified a variety of polypeptides ranging in size from 18,000 to 165,000 daltons that were immunoprecipitated specifically from U-2 OS cell extracts. The osteosarcoma also was shown to secrete a 29,000-dalton protein having the serological and structural characteristics of PDGF.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Graves, D T -- Owen, A J -- Barth, R K -- Tempst, P -- Winoto, A -- Fors, L -- Hood, L E -- Antoniades, H N -- CA30101/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- HL27607/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL29583/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Nov 23;226(4677):972-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6209798" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
