Differential expression of platelet-derived growth factor-α receptor by Thy-1−and Thy-1+lung fibroblasts
1 Jul 1999
Abstract excerpt
Fibroblasts are heterogeneous with respect to surface markers, morphology, and participation in fibrotic responses. This study was undertaken to determine whether Thy-1(-) and Thy-1(+) rat lung fibroblasts, which have distinct and relevant phenotypes, differ in their proliferative responses to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) isoforms. Homogeneous populations of Thy-1(-) and Thy-1(+) fibroblasts were found...
