Normal chicken, mouse and human embryo fibroblasts release into their culture media transforming growth factors (TGF) in a latent form. Their soft agar colony-forming activity on 2 widely used target cells, rat NRK-49F and mouse AKR-2B, is essentially revealed only after prior acidification of cell-conditioned media. These TGF are EGF[epidermal growth factor]-dependent when assayed on NRK-49F cells and EGF-independent on AKR-2B cells. The TGF activity from the chicken source is released in 3 (apparent) MW forms of 500 kd[kilodalton], 125 kd and 20 kd.
