Chrysotile asbestos stimulates platelet-derived growth factor-AA production by rat lung fibroblasts in vitro: evidence for an autocrine loop
…However, message amplification using a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction allowed detection of the B-chain message. A significant dose-dependent mitogenic effect of asbestos was found by using both a cell proliferation assay and nuclear…
