Abstract excerpt
We have investigated the effect of mutations in tyrosines 1131, 1135, and 1136 of the human insulin-like growth factor-I receptor (IGF-IR) on the growth and transformation of mammalian cells. We have used for this purpose R- cells, which are 3T3-like fibroblasts derived from mouse embryos with a targeted disruption of the IGF-IR genes. These cells have no IGF-IR, do not grow in serum-free medium supplemented with...
