Fibroblast growth factor in the human placenta.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) has been purified 333,000-fold from human placenta by a combination of salt precipitation, cation-exchange chromatography, and Heparin-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Molecular weight (15-16 kDaltons), amino acid composition, bioactivity and immunological crossreactivity with bovine pituitary FGF indicate that the mitogens from the two species are closely related molecules.
