The predominance of PDGF isoforms that activate PDGFRalpha support the ligand hypothesis as an explanation of why PDGFRalpha is more capable of inducing PVR than is PDGFRbeta. Furthermore, the profile of PDGF isoforms observed in the rabbit model accurately reflected the clinical specimens from patients with PVR. Finally, these findings implicate one of the new PDGF family members as an important contributor to experimental and clinical PVR.
