 note = {Various hormones and factors were added to human gastric cancer cells growing in vitro in a serum-free medium and growth rates were examined. The proliferation effect of transferrin was common to cell lines derived from differentiated carcinoma, MKN28, and another cell line derived from undifferentiated carcinoma, MKN45. Insulin was efficient only in the MKN28 cell line, and hydrocortisone was efficient only in the MKN45 cell line. Although serum-free media supplemented with transferrin, insulin or hydrocortisone failed to show significant effects on growth, they were helpful to maintain the subsistence of cells.},
