Figure 3

Biological activity of myofibroblast-derived LIF. BaF3 cells stably transfected with the gp130 and the gp190 subunits were exposed to dilutions of recombinant human LIF (starting concentration: 4 ng/ml) (open circles), culture medium (filled squares), myofibroblast conditioned medium alone (filled circles) or together with the blocking anti-gp190 antibody 12D3 at 20 μg/ml (filled triangles). Cell growth was monitored with a colorimetric assay. The figure shows the mean ± SD of 3 experiments performed in duplicate (SD are not always visible due to their small size).
