Inhibition of mitogenic activity of bFGF by the synthesized P7 peptides. BALB/c 3T3 cells were incubated with 10 ng/ml bFGF alone or 10 ng/ml bFGF plus P7 at the indicated concentrations, and cell proliferation was determined 48 hrs later. The inhibition rate was calculated as described in the ‘Methods’ section, and data are presented as the mean (±S.D.) of 3 independent experiments performed in triplicate.
