Human keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is an epithelial cell specific mitogen which is secreted by normal stromal fibroblasts. In the present studies, we demonstrate that KGF is as potent as EGF in stimulating proliferation of primary or secondary human keratinocytes in tissue culture. Exposure of K
Human kcratinocytes isolated from a skin biopsy and cultured in vitro on a feeder-layer of irradiated fibroblasts reconstitute a stratified squanious epithelium suitable for grafting onto patients suffering from large burn wounds. Since conditioned medium from 3T3-12 cells can partially substitute f
