Bladder cancers frequently exhibit an increased number of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGFR) in comparison to normal urothelium. The EGFR could potentially be a target for toxic conjugates. The aim of our study was to compare the expression of EGFR in metastases with concurrent or primary tumo
The role of peptide growth factors in neoplastic progression of transformed rat tracheal epithelial (RTE) cells was assessed by examining growth factor requirements and expression o f growth factor and growth factor receptor genes in normal and transformed RTE cells. Neoplastically transformed cell
We have previously shown that rat liver epithelial cells (RLEC) transfected with and constitutively expressing transforming growth factor-Ξ± (TGF-Ξ±) have an enhanced mitogenic response to hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). In the study reported here, we examined tumor clones derived from the TGF-Ξ± trans
