CHO-CB1 cells were incubated for 10 min with or without 30 μM tyrphostin AG1296 or 1 μM tyrphostin AG1478 and then with or without 1 μM THC, 1 nM PDGF, or 15 nM EGF for an additional 5 min. Results are expressed as percentage of incubations with no additions and correspond to four different experiments.

    • Significantly different from incubations with no additions:
