Human epithelial cell lines from the nasal, bronchial, and tracheal regions were analyzed for their response to IGF-I and IGF-II, in a confluent monolayer scratch assay.
Consequently, the analogues LongR3 IGF-I, Des1-3 IGF-I and Arg3 IGF-I were investigated also because of their lower affinity for the IGFBPs, while still retaining unaffected affinity for the IGF-I receptor.
In this study, IGF-1 LR3 was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking IGF-1 LR3.
