Abstract
The present invention is directed to DNA encoding human endothelial cell growth factors, and to plasmids comprising said DNA. In particular, the invention relates to DNA encoding a cleavable signal peptide and an endothelial cell growth factor, wherein removal of said signal peptide yields a mature form of the growth factor.
