Abstract
Growth factors or cytokines have been implicated in a wide variety of physiological and pathological processes. It has been shown that growth factors bind to specific receptors, and generate multiple signals that interact synergistically to initiate a proliferative response (1). Synergistic effects are of crucial importance in assessing the growth-promoting activity of any agent in low serum or serum free, chemically defined conditions.
