abstract：:We recently demonstrated that proteoglycan macrophage colony-stimulating factor (PG-M-CSF) binds basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and neutralizes the biological activity of bFGF. In this study, we identified the binding sites of PG-M-CSF for bFGF. We examined the binding of bFGF to overlapping 12-mer peptides wit...
