Keratinocytes and fibroblasts isolated from human neonatal foreskin can be plated and grown through multiple rounds of division in vitro under defined serum-free conditions. We utilized these growth conditions to examine the mitogenic potential of acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF and

## Abstract The bioactivity of both bFGF and aFGF in the BALB/MKโ1 cell line has been compared to that of EGF. Our results indicate that, for that cell type, aFGF was far more potent than bFGF in inducing cell proliferation. In the presence of heparin, aFGF was as potent as EGF. In addition, excess
Institute for Diabetes and Endocrinology, La lolla, California 92(1.?7 Treatment of Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) lead to a rapid reduction in epidermal growth factor (EGF) binding and a slower inhibition of EGF receptor autophosphorylation. The reduction in bindi
