Abstract

Benzo[a]pyrene‐transformed Balb 3T3 cells (BP3T3) exhibit “normal” growth controls at low concentrations of serum. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates DNA synthesis and cell division in both Balb 3T3 and BP3T3 cells at physiological concentrations. The growth response of BP3T3 cells to EGF is qualitatively the same as that of 3T3 cells, however, the transformed cells have a lower quantitative requirement. Both 3T3 and BP3T3 cells show a density‐dependent response to EGF, but the shift in the dose response curve for BP3T3 cells at high cell density is smaller than that seen for 3T3 cells. One cause of the restricted growth of 3T3 cells at high cell density compared with BP3T3 cells in the increased concentration of growth factor needed for stimulation of 3T3 cells at higher cell densities. A lower rate of depletion of other growth factory by BP3T3 cells may also explain the smaller effect of cell density on the EGF response of these cells.

## Abstract The binding and processing of plasminogen by Balb/c 3T3 and SV3T3 cells was studied using ^125^I‐labeled canine plasminogen. Throughout a 3‐day period, ^125^I‐plasminogen in the incubation medium bound to the cells and was degraded, first to intermediate‐sized macromolecules that were t
