This minireview deals with the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in human tear fluid. It explains the occurrence of EGF in tear fluid, the origin of EGF and its dependency on tear fluid dynamics. The alterations in tear fluid EGF concentrations that occur during diseases of the ocular surfac
## Methods Reagents Human recombinant bFGF, expressed in Eschen'chia coli, was produced and purified in the laboratories of
Anchorage-independent growth, i.e., growth in semi-solid medium is considered a marker of cellular transformation of fibroblast cells. Diploid human fibroblasts ordinarily do not exhibit such growth but can grow transiently when medium contains high concentrations of fetal bovine serum. This suggest
