ISOLATION OF A TUMOR FACTOR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANGIOGENESIS (original) (raw)

Abstract

Human and animal solid tumors elaborate a factor which is mitogenic to capillary endothelial cells. This factor has been called tumor-angiogenesis factor. The important components of TAF are RNA and protein. It is suggested that blockade of this factor (inhibition of angiogenesis) might arrest solid tumors at a tiny diameter of a few millimeters.
