Abstract excerpt
This study describes altered patterns of growth and upregulation of fibronectin expression of cultured canine airway smooth muscle cells grown in homologous serum, which provides a model of the vascular leakage occurring in asthma, compared to fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were incubated in increasing concentrations of serum (2.5-40%) for 72 hours. Both homologous serum and FBS caused cellular proliferation...
