ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a growth factor found in HTLV-II conditioned media and to compositions containing same. The growth factor of the present invention supports the growth of Kaposi's sarcoma endothelial-like cells. The factor has a molecular weight of 30K to 35K in monomeric form and a molecular weight of about 70K in dimeric form.
