## Abstract The effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) were studied in rat pituitary tumor cells, GH~3~, grown in serum‐supplemented and serum‐free chemically defined media. EGF (1 nM) increased the cell number to 132% of the control cultured in the defined medium during a 6‐day incubation period

The formation of new vessels (angiogenesis) is essential for primary tumour growth and metastasis and is induced by several angiogenic factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The microvascular density (MVD) in tumours was assessed and the expression of VEGF and its receptors VE
Incubation of Swiss mouse 3T3 cells at 37°C with bovine brain-derived growth factor (BDGF) decreased the cell surface '251-EGF binding activity of these cells by 70-80%. This down-modulation of the EGF receptor by BDGF was time, temperature, and dose dependent. Scatchard plot analysis indicated that
