摘要:The proliferation of chicken fibroblasts is strongly stimulated by folic acid, at greater than physiological concentrations, in a plasma-containing medium, or by serum in a medium of physiological folic acid concentration. Serum and plasma, however, do not appear to differ in their content of folic acid derivatives. A qualitative difference between the proliferative behaviors of normal and transformed fibroblasts is obtained when these cells are cultivated in a physiological-folate-low-calcium-plasma medium. In such a medium, transformants proliferate steadily, at a significant rate, while normal fibroblasts do not multiply at all.
