Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Autoradiographic studies with3H-thymidine demonstrated that the growth responses of hamster chondrocytes, dermal fibroblasts and embryo cells, respectively, differed in media containing whole blood serum (WBS) and plasmaderived serum (PDS). Dermal fibroblasts seemed to require a growth factor from platelets for growth, but chondrocytes did not. Embryo cells showed an intermediate pattern of growth response to this factor.
