We measured the concentration of hepatocyte growth factor after hepatectomy or CCl 4 -induced hepatic injury. HGF is a heterodimeric polypeptide composed of a 69-kd a-subunit (HGF) in bile obtained from patients after hepatectomy. The HGF concentrations in the bile samples were quantified using and

Human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF), which is now known to be the same protein as the scatter factor and the tumor cytotoxic factor, is a heterodimeric protein with one heavy chain and one light chain linked together by a disulfide bond, and is thought to be involved in liver regeneration. Using a
We have found a hepatotrophic factor in plasma or sera of patients with fulminant hepatic failure and have purified human hepatocyte growth factor from plasma of these patients. In this study we developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with high specificity and sensitivity for human hepatocyte
