title: Further evidence for a cell surface proteinase essential to the growth of cultured fibroblasts.
abstract: Specific antibodies and protein proteinase inhibitors will inhibit cell-surface proteinase activity on human fibroblasts and cause a concomitant inhibition of DNA synthesis and of cell multiplication. An insolubilized proteinase inhibitor also inhibits cell multiplication. The same reagents partially inhibit the multiplication of mouse L cells, both in monolayer and suspension culture, and inhibit the mitogenic effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on both types of cell.
