✦ Synopsis
CG-1 human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells in monolayer culture formed both cohesive, epithelial-like colonies and scattered, fibroblastic-like colonies in mixed proportions. In the presence of exogenously added bFGF (4 nglml), about 85% of the colonies formed were fibroblastic-like. CC-1 cells were capable of synthesizing and releasing bFGF, and, when compared by the immunological
