Identification of growth factors with an affinity towards TNCIII1–5.

<p>Binding of TNCIII1–5 to growth factors of different families, measured using indirect ELISA. Binding was measured in the presence of 4 µM heparin (grey) and in its absence (black). Various growth factor families were tested, PDGF/VEGF family (A), FGF family (B), TGF-β family (C), IGF family and IGF-BPs (D), and others (E) (n = 3, mean±SD).
