title: Survival of BSC-1 cells through the maintenance of cell volume brought about by epidermal growth factor depends on attachment to the substratum.
abstract: Addition of epidermal growth factor to culture medium without calf serum suppressed the increase in cell volume and then enhanced the survival of BSC-1 cells attached to culture dishes. However, these effects of epidermal growth factor were not observed in the case of cells on dishes coated with heat-denatured bovine serum albumin.
