ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to novel fragments of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). The mitogenic potency of one of these bFGF fragments, identified as HBF-2 is about 25-50 fold less than that of native bFGF but at least 10.sup.3 -10.sup.4 fold more active than that of previously reported synthetic fragments of bFGF. Therefore, the present invention provides the shortest fragment of bFGF that retains substantial biologic activity.
