...H. Fuse; I. Mizuno; M. Sakamoto; T. Katayama Epidermal growth factor (EGF) concentration in urine was measured with a radioimmunoassay in 40 untreated patients with urothelial tumors and a comparable control group of 25 normals. The concentration of EGF in urine from the patients with bladder...

...David E. Neal; Kilian Mellon Recently, expectations have been raised that molecular biological studies of human tumours may be of value in helping to predict future clinical behaviour, in terms of therapeutic response and long-term survival. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFr) is a cell...

...Hideki Fuse; Masaou Okumura; Mamoru Sakamoto; Taizo Kazama; Takashi Katayama Epidermal growth factor (EGF) content in seminal plasma of 17 patients with androgen deficiency (12 Klinefelter’s syndrome and 5 hypogonadotropic hypogonadism) was determined before and after hormone replacement...

... of tumour cells to epidermal growth factor (EGF) expressing EGF receptor led to a decreased ALP expression by as much as 54% as assessed by biochemical or flow-cytometric techniques. These data demonstrated that testis tumour tissues and cell lines expressed ALP which were different from others. The data...
