| Abstract: | The growth promoting effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) was studied in cultures of epithelial cells from human normal and cataractous lenses. The growth potential of lens epithelial cells was measured by MTT assay. The concentration of EGF in culture medium were classified into 7 groups (0 ng/ml-10(3) ng/ml). When the concentration of EGF was 1 ng/ml, EGF induced the highest increase of growth potential epithelial cells compared with an EGF-free group. |
