1 We investigated whether EGF could be conjugated to dextran, which is a suitable carrier for toxic agents, without losing its ability to bind to the receptor. Dextrans epidermal growth factor Homo sapiens
2 EGF was coupled to the activated dextran through the amino terminus and glycine was added to block residual activity. Dextrans epidermal growth factor Homo sapiens
3 The EGF-dextran conjugate was, after purification on Sephadex G25 and Sephacryl 200 columns, tested for its receptor binding properties on human malignant glioma, U343MGaC12:6, cells. Dextrans epidermal growth factor Homo sapiens
4 Thus, it seems promising to use dextran, conjugated with EGF, as a carrier of, for example, toxic radioactive nuclides. Dextrans epidermal growth factor Homo sapiens
