## Abstract The effect of EGF on the soft agar colonyβforming ability of fresh human tumor cells was assessed in 40 specimens obtained from various types of carcinoma including those of the breast, endometrium, ovary, and other sites. Cells from four established human tumor cell lines (three breast

Tumor cells may stimulate their own proliferation through an autocrine mechanism by simultaneously producing growth factors and growth factor receptors. We now report that numerous human tumor-derived cell lines simultaneously express the genes for platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) A and B chain
## Abstract Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is a heparinbinding protein, expressing potent mitogenic and angiogenic properties. Elevated levels of bFGF have been identified in human gliomas and glioma cell lines, suggesting that bFGF expression is involved in the aberrant growth patterns asso
