Abstract excerpt
mRNA amplification phenotyping (MAPPing) was used to determine the level of mRNA expression of the major EGF-related ligands (EGF, TGF-alpha, and Amphiregulin) and receptors (EGF-receptor and erbB-2) of the EGF supergene family in three ovarian carcinoma lines (OVCA 429 and 433, and NIH:OVCAR-8) under serum-supplemented and reduced serum (minimal medium with 2% fetuin) growth conditions. mRNA levels of TGF-alpha,...
