Increased immunoreactivity of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AA, -Ralpha, and -Rbeta in intimal cells correlates with the development of cardiac allograft arteriosclerosis, a condition for which there is little or no current therapy. Therefore, we hypothesized that PDGF may have a rate-limiting role in the development of this disease.
