Vascular endothelial cells are cells that form a monolayer that covers the lumen of blood vessels, and are thought to be involved in lipid metabolism, which is a cause of arteriosclerosis, which causes aging and damage to blood vessels. Furthermore, the proliferation of malignant tumors is closely related to angiogenesis, and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells is an essential condition. Furthermore, angiogenesis is also required for the healing of burns and wounds, and the involvement of vascular endothelial cell growth factor is clear.

用の有用性は明らかである。As mentioned above, vascular endothelial cell growth factor (endothelial cell growth factor), which is thought to exist naturally in living organisms,
If growth factor (hereinafter abbreviated as ECGF) can be isolated and utilized, it can be expected to serve as a protective and therapeutic drug for vascular endothelial damage associated with arteriosclerosis, and a healing promoting drug for burns, wounds, and the like. Furthermore, ECGF can be used as a vascular endothelium-forming agent when creating a biocompatible artificial blood vessel coated with vascular endothelium. Furthermore, E
Since antagonists of CGF are thought to inhibit angiogenesis, ECGF can be expected to be an extremely useful material for the development of anti-malignant tumors and therapeutic agents for rheumatoid arthritis and retinopathy. In addition, vascular endothelium proliferates due to arteriosclerosis and malignant tumor growth, resulting in blood, urine,
If ECGF is present in stool, etc. at a higher than normal physiological concentration (an increase in specific hormones is often observed in various diseases), antibodies against ECGF can be created,
It becomes possible to develop diagnostic agents for the above-mentioned diseases using the antibodies. In this way, the medical value of ECGF is extremely large, and by the way, it has been shown to be effective in preventing malignant tumors, stroke, and heart disease.
The usefulness of ECGF's use and application in medical care is clear, considering that it ranks among the top three in terms of mortality rate among Japanese people (as of 1986).

Considering the application of CGF from this point of view, it seems that brain and cancer cells are somewhat problematic, and platelets are difficult to obtain on a regular basis in large quantities. In addition, various molecular types of ECGF have been discovered to date, and it is unclear which molecular types are suitable for actual medical application, or the possibility of application of undiscovered ECGF derived from other tissues. These issues remain as issues for future consideration.

.. The present invention relates to a novel ECGF having a property of 0. The cells used for the production of this ECGF include this ECGF.
Any cell may be used as long as it has the ability to produce GF protein, but human diploid fibroblasts are preferred. Human diploid fibroblasts are highly safe because they are derived from normal tissues, and can be cultured for long periods of time (about 50 generations) in various large-scale culture systems, and have high productivity. Furthermore, human diploid fibroblasts exist in various vascular-rich tissues such as connective tissues and lungs, and therefore, this ECGF may actually be locally involved in angiogenesis and vascular endothelial cell metabolism in vivo. There is a high possibility that

CIA). The ECGF active component in the culture supernatant is adsorbed by this column, and as shown in Figure 2, when the sodium chloride concentration is increased in 20mM acetate buffer (pH 4, 5), the ECGF active component in the culture supernatant is absorbed by the column at a concentration of 0.8M or higher. eluted from the column. This active fraction was treated with TSKgel Ethe
r-5PW (2.15X15cm, Toyo Jozo) 1.
Adsorption was carried out in the presence of 5M ammonium sulfate. As the ammonium sulfate concentration was gradually lowered, ECGF activity was eluted at 1.2-0.5M ammonium sulfate. Furthermore, this active fraction was applied to a C18-reversed phase column (6X
250mm, Senshu Science), 0.1%
The ECGF active component was eluted with a 0-70% acetonitrile concentration gradient in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (pH 2,0). This purified ECGF fraction was subjected to SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis without a reducing agent, and the activity was extracted from the gel and the molecular weight was measured, as shown in Figure 3.
Activity was detected at molecular weights of 38,000 to 48,000. In addition, when the above-mentioned ECGF purified fraction is subjected to polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing and the activity is extracted in the same manner,
As shown in Figure 4, pH 4.0-5.0, pH 5.5
