Abstract

Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells can grow in synthetic medium supplemented with five factors--insulin, transferrin, prostaglandin E1, hydrocortisone, and triiodothyronine--as a serum substitute. These five factors permit growth for 1 month in the absence of serum and a growth rate equivalent to that observed in serum-supplemented medium. Dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate substitutes for prostaglandin E1 in the medium. Potential applications of the serum-free medium are discussed. The medium permits a defined analysis of the mechanisms regulating hemicyst formation by hormones and permits the growth of primary kidney epithelial cell cultures in the absence of fibroblast overgrowth.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
