Summary A rapid mitogenic assay suitable for the detection of transforming growth factors in the extracts of tissues or cells or in the medium conditioned by tumor cells in vitro is described. The method utilizes a nontumorigenic mouse embryo cell line (AKR-2B cells) maintained in serum-free conditions. Three classes of growth factors can be distinguished using this assay.
