Abstract
The presence of endothelial cell-stimulating angiogenic factor (ESAF) in diseased human vitreous humour has been established. The molecular mass and chromatographic behavior of this material and its property of activating procollagenase indicate it to be identical to the ESAF isolated from other sources. The biological activity of ESAF from human vitreous was demonstrated by its ability to induce positive responses in the rabbit corneal pocket, and in the chick chorioallantoic membrane and yolk sac membrane tests.Entities:
