Who first discovered it?

From Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) 192240: it was first discovered by Ferrara & Henzel in 1989. See PMID 2735925 for the abstract of that study. JFW | T@lk 14:59, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
Have to correct this. It was first discovered by Senger et al. in 1983 and originally described as EPF (Endothelial Permeability Factor) for its effects on increasing the permeability of vascular endothelium. See PMID 6823562 for an abstract.
