Insulin like growth factor-I independence in rat mammary carcinoma cells: a dominant phenotype in somatic cell hybrid experiments.

Ethier S P, Taback E
Abstract excerpt
Normal rat mammary epithelial cells have an absolute requirement for insulin (IN) or insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) for proliferation in serum-free medium. By contrast, serially transplantable rat mammary carcinoma (RMC) cells are IGF-I-independent for continuous growth in vitro. Previously...
