| 摘要 |
Polypeptides capable of binding to an epidermal growth factor receptor are provided, as well as precursors thereof, where the polypeptides find analogy with polypeptides coded for by pox viruses. The compounds have a framework structure, particularly involving six cysteines which provide loops analogous to those found in naturally occurring growth factors which bind to an epidermal growth factor receptor. The compounds find use as mitogens, additives in nutrient media, in assays for EGF receptors, and as competitors for other growth factors. The components also find use in wound healing. <IMAGE> |
