## Abstract Thymidine phosphorylase (TP), also known as plateletβderived endothelial cell growth factor (PDβECGF), is an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible dephosphorylation of thymidine, deoxyuridine and their analogs. TP has also angiogenic properties, although the precise mechanism by which it
We have investigated the expression of platelet-derived endothelial-cell growth factorkhymidine phosphorylase (PD-ECGF/dThdPase) in human breast-cancer tissues by the immunocytochemical method using anti-PD-ECGF/ dThdPase monoclonal antibody. Out of I00 invasive-ductal-carcinoma tissue samples, 39 (
BACKGROUND. This is the first study on the quantitative assessment of thymidine phosphorylase (TP) activity in patients with nonsmall lung carcinoma. TP is identical to the platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor with its angiogenic activity. Thus, it is believed that TP activity in tumor ti
