(17) Epidermal growth factor (EGF) binds to JEG-3 cells, a tissue culture line of human choriocarcinoma.
(18) In JEG-3 choriocarcinoma cells the MMTV promoter is transcribed inefficiently, even after transfection of the receptor cDNA and treatment with glucocorticoids or progestins.

(20) Deletion of the FN promoter from positions -510 to -56 resulted in an ~30-fold decrease in promoter activity when this construction was transfected into HT-1080 cells, and similar results were observed in NIH 3T3 cells; however, less than a 2-fold effect was observed in JEG-3 cells.
