Abstract
An analogue of epidermal growth factor (EGF) which is virtually devoid of biological activity retains receptor binding activity but cannot form cell surface clusters or patches. Bivalent anti-EGF antibodies restore both bioactivity and patch formation. The sensitivity of fibroblasts to native EGF can also be enhanced greatly by these antibodies, especially in hormone-resistant cell lines.Entities:
