Abstract:
Summary The growth characteristics of human leukemic cell lines in serum supplemented medium and in serum free medium with and without the addition of insulin were investigated. No relation was found between the insulin binding capacity of the cells and their hormone-dependence for growth.This work has been supported by grant CT82.00191.04 of CNR Rome and by Regione Piemonte.
