The presence of TGFa mRNA has been reported previously to occur in primary colon cancers. We report the expression of the normal 4.5 kb TGFa transcript in the mucosa of the normal human gastro-intestinal tract from oesophagus through to colon. The highest levels of human TGFa mRNA occurred in the du

## Background: The role of growth factors in prostate cell growth has been investigated as these peptides may be involved in the autonomous growth of hormone-independent prostate cancer. ## Methods: Responses of neoplastic (pc-3 and cpa) and non-neoplastic (cape) prostatic cell lines to epidermal
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
To evaluate epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor expression in the neoplastic process of squamous cell epithelium of the uterine cervix, normal, premalignant, and malignant cervical tissues were examined for the presence of EGF receptor by the avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase techniques with a monoc
