EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR STIMULATES SECRETION OF HUMAN CHORIONIC GONADOTROPIN BY CULTURED HUMAN CHORIOCARCINOMA CELLS

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to JEG-3 cells, a tissue cultureline of human choriocarcinoma. EGF also stimulates secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and to a lesser extent the secretion of free hCG-alpha.
