title: [Mitogenic action of factors secreted by avian erythroblastosis virus transformed cells].
abstract: We describe here the capacity of erythroid LSCC HD3 cells, transformed with a ts mutant of avian erythroblastosis virus, to grow in a chemically defined medium without serum at 36 degrees C, but not at 41 degrees C. At this latter temperature the activity of v-erbB oncogene is suppressed. However, cell growth at 41 degrees C could take place either by addition of the medium derived from LSCC HD3 cells grown at 36 degrees C (conditioned medium), or by addition of fetal calf serum. These results show that LSCC HD3 cells, maintained under conditions in which the v-erbB oncogene is active, secrete growth factor(s) which exhibit a mitogenic effect similar to that observed with calf serum.
