Abstract
A novel growth factor specific for vascular endothelial cells has been identified in conditioned medium of bovine pituitary derived folliculo stellate cells. This factor, named folliculo stellate derived growth facto (FSdGF) or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), was purified to homogeneity by a combination of heparin sepharose affinity chromatography, Bio Gel P-60 exclusion chromatography, Mono S ion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic chromatography on a C4 reverse phase HPLC column. The factor is also found in the murine AtT-20 cell line.
