The growth responses of hamster chondrocytes, dermal fibroblasts and embryo cells to whole blood serum and plasma-derived serum.
Autoradiographic studies with 3H-thymidine demonstrated that the growth responses of hamster chondrocytes, dermal fibroblasts and embryo cells, respectively, differed in media containing whole blood serum (WBS) and plasma-derived serum (PDS). Dermal fibroblasts seemed to require a growth factor from platelets for growth, but chondrocytes did not. Embryo cells showed an intermediate pattern of growth response to this factor.
