✦ Synopsis


A mitogenic factor from 3T3 plasma membranes has been identified and partially characterized. The factor appears to be a peripheral membrane protein that can be released by mild trypsin, chymotrypsin, or plasmin treatment. This component is sensitive to heat and acid, and has a molecular weight in the range of 150,000-200,000 daltons as determined by gel filtration. A similar mitogenic activity has also been found on the membranes of both SV-40-transformed 3T3 cells and human fibroblasts. The factor appears to be distinct from all previously described mitogenic components.

## Abstract The enhanced ability of murine serum to support growth of 3T3 cells, when compared with fetal calf serum, is also evident on variants of 3T3 cells lacking the ability to bind epidermal growth factor (EGF). Variant 3T3 cell lines unable to bind EGF also retain a mitogenic response to fib
