Abstract excerpt
Various cytokines are involved in growth regulation of human melanoma cells. Malignant melanoma cells express multiple growth factors, including basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-alpha, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-alpha, and melanoma growth stimulatory activity (MGSA), substances which are not expressed in normal human melanocytes. The simultaneous synthesis of...
