Angiotensin II-stimulated vascular endothelial growth factor expression in bovine retinal pericytes.

abstract：PURPOSE:To biochemically characterize the receptor for connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) of human corneal fibroblasts (HCF). METHODS:Radiolabeled recombinant human CTGF was used to determine the specificity and time course of binding to low-passage cultures of HCF. The affinity and number of receptors present wer...
