Summary
In the presence of a minimal amount of a water-soluble growth factor from bovine serum, cholesterol together with an unsaturated fatty acid may replace the ethersoluble lipoid fraction of the same serum. The concentration of cholesterol and fatty acid, as well as the chemical structure of the latter, are relevant.
