Comparison of the effects of 5 ng ml−1 FGF2 (A) in serum-containing (15% FCS) colony assays, (B) in serum-free adherent monolayer cultures and (C) in serum-containing adherent monolayer cultures. Integrin-mediated adhesion plus soluble serum factors had a strong synergistic effect in antagonising FGF2-induced apoptosis (C). *WE-68 cells do not grow in serum-free adherent monolayer cultures.
