Exposure to tumour cells has previously been shown to induce mast cells to degranulate and release heparin. Isolated mastsell granules were found to be mitogenic for endothelial cells in vitro. This effect was a property of mast-cell heparin, whose potency as a mitogen exceeded that of commercial he

The contributory role of nitric oxide (NO) on tumour growth and metastasis was evaluated in a murine mammary tumour model. NO synthase (NOS) protein expression levels were examined in spontaneously arising C3H/HeJ mammary adenocarcinomas and respective lung metastases. In addition, 2 clonal derivati
## Abstract Tumour extracts were obtained from rat Walker 256 carcinoma and examined for the presence of tumour angiogenesis factor (TAF) __in vivo__ before being used in tissue culture experiments. Capillary endothelial cells derived from cow brain white matter were used to study the effects of TA
