Our highly purified recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor BB (rhPDGF-BB) is a potent stimulator of the proliferation and recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). These cells grown using our rhPDGF-BB are being used successfully in cell therapies under development by our corporate partners. Contact us for purchasing information.

Platelet-derived growth factor (rhPDGF-BB) is one of numerous growth factors that regulate cell growth and division. In particular, rhPDGF-BB plays a significant role in blood vessel formation (angiogenesis), the growth of blood vessels from already-existing blood vessel tissue, mitogenesis, i.e. proliferation, of mesenchymal cells such as fibroblasts, osteoblasts, tenocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, Schwann cells, glial cells, mesangial cells, pericytes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as well as chemotaxis, the directed migration, of these mesenchymal cells. Naturally occurring rhPDGF-BB is a dimeric glycoprotein that can be composed of two A subunits (PDGF-AA), two B subunits (PDGF-BB), one of each (PDGF-AB), two C subunits (PDGF-CC) or two D subunits (PDGF-DD). PDGFs are stored in platelet α-granules, and are released upon platelet activation. They are also produced by endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, activated macrophages, and some activate epithelial cells. Two distinct signaling receptors used by PDGFs are named PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β.

rhPDGF-BB is a 24.3 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two β chains (218 total amino acids). rhPDGF-BB is a mitogenic and chemotactic for fibroblasts, osteoblasts, tenocytes, periodontal ligament cells, dental pulp derived cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, Schwann cells, glial cells, mesangial cells, pericytes and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). rhPDGF-BB is an important modulator of many biological processes, including dermal wound healing, bone regeneration, embryonic neuron development and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development. Medical applications of rhPDGF-BB have been evaluated extensively. It is the active component of three FDA-approved products: GEM 21S; AUGMENT Bone Graft; and Regranex Gel.
