For the neutralizing mAb experiment, the source of CM was lung histocultures for the aFGF mAb experiment, and early monolayer lung cultures for the bFGF mAb experiment. For the immunoprecipitation plus reconstitution experiment, the source of CM was lung histoculture. Mean ± SD. Drug effect was measured by the BrdUrd incorporation method. NM, not measured. Similar results were obtained for rat MAT-LyLu cells and human PC3 cells. Results in the top and middle parts are for rat tumor cells, and results in the bottom part are for PC3 cells. *, P < 0.05 compared with control (one way ANOVA).
