| Background | Monoclonal antibody PG1 mainly recognizes hepatocytes in the liver and epithelial cells in various organs. The immunohistochemical pictures suggest a close relatedness or identity of the antigen with Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also known as Scatter factor (SF). Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a pleiotropic factor which induces cellular motility, survival, proliferation, and morphogenesis, depending upon the cell type. In the adult, HGF has been demonstrated to affect tissue repair, including in the lung. HGF is produced by cells of mesenchymal origin (mainly fibroblasts and macrophages), while the HGF receptor, Met, is expressed by epithelial and endothelial cells. HGF is a heterodimeric protein comprised of a 55–60 kDa alpha chain and a 32–34 kDa beta chain linked by a single disulfide bond. |
