title: [Sulfation and mitogenic activities of growth factors in human serum: importance of compounds of molecular weight lower than 1,000 in the global expression of activity of this serum on 3 different cellular types].
abstract: A human serum ultrafiltrate contains compounds needed for a maximal expression of sulfation and mitogenic activities of the corresponding retentate. These low molecular weight (less than 1,000) molecules have no effect, by their own, on 35SO4(2-) uptake in chick embryo cartilage, but show a significant synergistic effect with serum growth polypeptides. Tested alone, they display a slight mitogenic activity as measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation in chick embryo fibroblasts or in lymphocytes activated by phytohemagglutinin. Here they also act in a synergistic way on mitogenic activities of growth factors from human retentate. A fraction (P2B), partially purified from human plasma ultrafiltrates, produces the same synergistic response with human retentate in the three cellular systems (cartilages, fibroblasts, activated lymphocytes). However, concentrations which lead to optimum responses are very different according to the cell type studied. These results suggest the existence of several compounds which can each act specifically on a cellular system.
