Figure 8From: Transforming growth factor beta family expression at the bovine feto-maternal interfaceCell proliferation analysis of activin and related growth factors. Purified activin A, activin AB, and follistatin were applied to E and C cells at concentrations ranging from 1 to 1000 ng/mL. FGF2 and HB-EGF were used at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 100 ng/mL. TGFβ1 was used at concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 10 ng/mL. The values (mean ± SD) are expressed as percentages relative to the value obtained for the relevant untreated group (control). Dunnett's multiple comparison test was carried out to test the differences between the control and treatment groups: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.Back to article page
