JORMA KESKI-OJA Two types of transforming growth factors (TGF) have been purified and well characterized, TGFa and TGFP. TGFa is a 5.6 kD single chain molecule that shows sequence homology to epidermal growth factor (EGF), binds to the EGF receptor, and has biological effects very similar to those o
This study examines the regulation of Swarm rat chondrosarcoma (SRC) cell proliferation in vitro. In serum-free cultures, SRC cells showed only transient DNA synthesis and this was increased by serum. Transforming growth factor-p (TGF-p) was identified as an essential serum component, since the mito
