Abstract
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) was discovered in the 1970s as an activity that stimulates the proliferation of 3T3 cells (1). Currently, FGFs comprise a family of nine structurally related proteins (FGF-1 to -9) (reviewed in 2–6). FGFs are expressed in specific spatial and temporal patterns and are involved in developmental processes, angiogenesis, wound healing, and tumorigenesis (3, 4, 7). The purification of basic FGF (FGF-2) and other related growth factors has been facilitated by the discovery that FGFs have a high affinity for heparin (2). These growth factors can be assayed on a variety of cells or embryos, in vitro, resulting in growth, survival, or differentiation (8–11).
