Abstract
A protein, Leukocyte Derived Growth Factor 2 (hereinafter LDGF2) having PDGF-like activity is described. LDGF2 reacts with PDGF receptors and possesses mitogenic and/or chemotactic activity for various cell types, particularly connective tissue cells. LDGF2 may be used as the active ingredient in therapeutic compositions, e.g. wound healing compositions, or even further may be used as an additive to cell culture media for the purpose of stimulating cell growth. The protein has a molecular weight of about 7000 daltons determined by SDS gel electrophoresis and is about 61 amino acids in length.
