Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor is a powerful mitogen for endothelial cells, recently reported to be produced by keratinocytes. In the present work, we examined human keratinocytes in primary culture for the splice variants of vascular endothelial growth factor. In situ hybridization revealed that 100% of cultured human keratinocytes expressed mRNA for this cytokine, and analysis by reverse...
