Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-1 ), which is present in lung tissue, has been suggested to play a role in modulating vascular cell function in vivo. The action of TGF-1 in vivo, especially at the local site of application to connective tissue, is anabolic and leads to pulmonary fibrosis and

Antibodies specific for heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were produced in rabbits, using the multiple antigen peptide (MAP) technique, and were employed to investigate the ability of transforming growth factor-pl (TGF-P1) to induce the HO-1 protein in cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells.

## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a major agent in choroidal and retinal neovascularization, events associated with age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), strategically located between retina and choroid, plays a cri
