title: Localization of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in a metastatic cell line (AT-3) established from the Dunning prostatic carcinoma of rat: application of a specific monoclonal antibody.
abstract: Localization of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in a metastatic cell line, AT-3, established from the Dunning prostatic carcinoma of rat was determined by two immunological techniques using a specific monoclonal antibody against bFGF. Concentration of bFGF in cell extract was measured by sandwich radioimmunoassay (RIA) with heparin-Sepharose and 125I-labeled monoclonal antibody. bFGF concentration in the extract of AT-3 cells increased with increasing concentration of NaCl in extraction buffer. Localization of bFGF in AT-3 cells was determined by counting radioactivity of 125I-labeled monoclonal antibody binding to AT-3 cells before or after increasing permeability of the cells. The binding increased significantly by this treatment, indicating that bFGF within the cells was detected.
