You are investigating the effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the proliferation of human fibroblasts. Cells are cultured in medium containing 10 ng/mL EGF, 50 ng/mL EGF, 100 ng/mL EGF, and medium without EGF. Cell proliferation will be assessed by measuring total DNA content using a fluorescence-based assay after 72 hours.
