## Abstract We recently reported that the growth of normal rat pleural mesothelial cells (RPMCs) is inhibited by conditioned media from either in vivo or in vitro transformed RPMCs. In this study we report that the growth of normal RPMCs is inhibited by epidermal growth factor (EGF). This was demon
Some gliomas, melanomas and squamous carcinomas have large numbers of EGF receptors which could, in these cases, be used for targeting with toxic agents. We investigated whether EGF could be conjugated to dextran, which is a suitable carrier for toxic agents, without losing its ability to bind to th
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) at concentrations of 10(-9) to 10(-10) M initiates cell division in both confluent and low density non-dividing 3T3 cells. Four days after addition of EGF to confluent or low density non-dividing 3T3 cells there is a 2- and 5-fold increase, respectively, in cell number.
## Abstract To identify genes associated with radioresistant oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we compared gene expression signatures between OSCC cell lines exhibiting radioresistance and cells with radiosensitivity after Xβray irradiation in a doseβdependent manner using Affymetrix GeneChip an
