The effect of transforming growth factor-type f3 l(TGF-P) on the growth and differentiation of normal human skin keratinocytes cultured in serum-free medium was investigated. TCF-P markedly inhibited the growth of keratinocytes at the concentrations >2 ng/ml under low Ca2+ conditions (0.1 mM). Growt

## Abstract Fluorescein dye microinjection was used to demonstrate changes in communication between human epidermal keratinocytes grown in vitro after infection by the oncogenic virus, SV40. Whereas keratinocytes are normally fully coupled to each other, dye spread becomes progressively restricted
Transformed keratinocytes (SCC-4, SCC-15, SCC-12F2, SVK14) or normal keratinocytes which differ in their differentiation programme were used to study the regulation of EGF-receptor expression. The capacity of the cells to differentiate was modulated by changing the extracellular calcium concentratio
## Abstract In this study we examined the different aspects of the pathway leading to the differentiation of keratinocytes as a function of time in culture and calcium concentration of the culture medium. Human neonatal foreskin keratinocytes were grown in a serumβfree, defined medium containing 0.
