15 Sept 1996

Human multiple myeloma (MM) represents a highly aneuploid tumor as shown by cytogenetic studies. This may partly explain the heterogeneity with regard to growth factor requirements demonstrated among MM cells. We have previously reported the expression of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) mRNA in some MM cell lines.
