## Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates the growth of both benzo[a]pyrene‐transformed Balb 3T3 cells (BP3T3) and untransformed Balb 3T3 cells. We describe here the binding, internalization, and degradation of [^125^I]‐EGF by BP3T3 cells and 3T3 cells. Binding of [^125^I]‐EGF reaches a

Abstract
The binding of a fluorescein‐isothiocyanate derivative of insulin to Swiss 3T3 cells was measured by flow cytometry. The kinetics of the subsequent internalization were also measured; at a concentration of 1 μM labeled insulin approximately 25% of the internalization was insulin‐specific. The kinetics of endocytosis were contrasted to those of fluorescent derivatives of histone and dextran. In addition, the fusion of endocytic vesicles containing insulin or dextran with lysosomes was detected by measuring the pH‐dependent increase in fluorescein fluorescence caused by the addition of chloroquine. The application of these results to the analysis of growth control by insulin and related hormones is discussed.

## 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
This study describes a new flow cytometric method for assessment of phagocytosis of specific bacteria (bacillus Calmette-Gukrin (BCG) and Eschericbiu coZi) by bladder epithelial cells. The internalization assay consisted of labeling bacteria chemically with fluorescein hthiocyanate (FITC). Subsequen
Biochemical and ultrastructural studies of insulin binding and cellular processing by cultured H411EC3 hepatoma cells were performed.
