The two major mitogenic polypeptides for endothelial cells have been purified to homogeneity. The complete primary structure of bovine pituitary basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) and the amino-terminal amino acid sequence of bovine brain acidic FGF have been established by gas-phase sequence analyses. Homogeneous preparations of these polypeptides are potent mitogens (basic FGF, ED50 .apprxeq. 60 pg/ml; acidic FGF ED50 .apprxeq. 6000 pg/ml) for many diverse cell types including capillary endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and adrenocortical and granulosa cells; in vivo, basic FGF is a powerful angiogenic agent in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. The available protein sequence data demonstrate the existence of significant structural homology between the two polypeptides.
