Distribution of OE E13.5 colony subtypes with FGF or EGF
GF | Colony subtype |
||
---|---|---|---|
Spherical (%) | Fusiform (%) | Polygonal (%) | |
FGF | 52 ± 6 | 25 ± 5 | 23 ± 2 |
EGF | 44 ± 4* | 16 ± 2 | 40 ± 4* |
Values are means ± SEM. E13.5 colony subtypes were assessed after 10 d in vitro in serum-free cultures with basic FGF or EGF. In EGF, spherical and polygonal colonies are significantly greater than fusiform.
*p < 0.001; n = 5–6 independent experiments.
