Pleiotropic human KB cell mutants, selected for resistance to a conjugate of epidermal growth factor with Pseudornonas exotoxin (PE-EGF), were characterized genetically. These mutants have a pleiotropic phenotype, which includes reduced number of EGF receptors and reduced growth rate. Hybrid cells b

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
## Abstract Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a mitogen for Swiss 3T3 cells. Short incubation periods with physiological concentrations of EGF induced increased binding of Swiss 3T3 cells to Con Aβcoated nylon fibers. This effect was not induced in an EGF nonβresponsive 3T3 variant, in the transform
