| VEGF-D and angiogenis use thereof | ||
| Abstract | ||
| The present invention is directed to the use of Figf/VEGF-D or angiogenic fragments or muteins thereof as an angiogenic agent. More specifically, the present invention is directed to a method for inducing angiogenesis in vitro or in vivo comprising administering an effective amount of VEGF-D or an angiogenically active fragment or mutein thereof. The present invention is useful because it provides a method for inducing angiogenesis (or neovascularization) in a patient in need thereof. It also provides a method for treating various ischemic conditions manifest by vascular insufficiency, such as peripheral vascular disease, coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction. | ||
