Distribution of vascular permeability factor (vascular endothelial growth factor) in tumors: concentration in tumor blood vessels

Vascular permeability factor (VPF) is a highly conserved 34-42-kD protein secreted by many tumor cells. Among the most potent vascular permeability-enhancing factors known, VPF is also a selective vascular endothelial cell mitogen, and therefore has been called vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF). Our goal was to define the cellular sites of VPF (VEGF) synthesis and accumulation in t...

Factor/Vascular Permeability Factor in Mouse Ascites Tumors Significant Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), also known as vascular permeability factor, is believed to be a potent mediator of peritoneal fluid accumulation and angiogenesis and of tumor growth in ascites tumor. Such roles, however, have not been generally established because of insufficient quantitative and systemic analyses. To address this, we exam ined the expression of VEGF in 13 mouse asci...

Effusions Factor) in Guinea Pig and Human Tumor and Inflammatory Vascular Permeability Factor (Vascular Endothelial Growth

Vascular permeability factor (VPF), also known as vascular endothelial growth Tactor, is a dimeric Mr 34,000â€”42,000 glycoprotein that possesses potent vascular permeability-enhancing and endothelial cell-specific mitogcnic activities. It is synthesized by many rodent and human tumor cells and also by some normal cells. Recently we developed a sensitive and specific time-resolved immunofluorom...
