Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) is a pleiotropic effector of cells expressing the Met tyrosine kinase receptor. C127 is a non-tumorigenic mouse cell line which expresses negligible levels of HGF/SF and Met proteins. In the present report we have generated C127 cells which overexp...
