  • Compositions comprising leukocyte-derived growth factors and methods of administering same to facilitate wound healing
    Patent number: 5804176
    Abstract: A gene encoding a leukocyte-derived growth factor (LDGF) has been isolated, cloned and sequenced. LDGF is believed to correspond to a PDGF-like monocyte-derived growth factor with chemotactic activity which is found in human wound fluid. Protease-resistant and other analogues of LDGF, as well as recombinant LDGF of native amino acid sequence, may now be produced by gene expression in transformed hosts.
