Abstract excerpt
The effects of various growth factors on the colony-forming ability were examined in soft-agar culture of thermosensitive (ts) mutants derived from Chinese hamster lung cells that exhibited anchorage-independent growth. Fibroblast growth factor (FGF), a competence factor, and epidermal growth fac...
