Abstract excerpt
Glioma cells in culture express platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A- and B-chains and secrete PDGF-like activity that is mainly PDGF-AA. In this work, we show that the PDGF alpha- and beta-receptors are independently expressed in human malignant glioma cells. We also define three different receptor phenotypes that are related to the morphology of glioma cells: cells with only alpha-receptors, only...
