Steady-state levels of rat central nervous system (CNS) platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A-and B-chain mRNAs were measured by a polymerase chain reaction method employing a synthetic gene internal standard, and the rates of transcription of PDGF A-and B-chain genes in CNS were estimated by a nu
1988). PDGF is the prototypical wound healing hormone. There are two different PDGF polypeptides that are 56% homologous and encoded by different genes. The PDGF-A and PDGF-B genes are independently regulated. PDGF exists as three different dimers of these gene products; PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB, and PDGF-A
The PDGFbr gene has been implicated in many physiological processes including development and wound healing. Aberrant expression of the receptor is seen in many pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis and inflammatory diseases. To study the mechanisms of PDGFbr regulation, we identified the
BACKGROUND. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expression of plateletderived growth factor (PDGF A, PDGF B) and their receptors (PDGF a, PDGF p) in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and adenocarcinoma. ## METHODS. Peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunoperoxidase labeling was used t
