Abstract excerpt
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen for mesenchymal cells. The PDGF B-chain (c-sis proto-oncogene) homodimer (PDGF BB) and v-sis, its viral counterpart, activate both alpha- and beta-receptor subunits (alpha-PDGFR and beta-PDGFR) and mediate anchorage-independent growth in NIH3T3 cells. In contrast, the PDGF A chain homodimer (PDGF AA) activates alpha-PDGFR only and fails to induce...
