Abstract

Today search for growth-regulating polypeptides is guided by a model which postulates control of cell proliferation by both positive and negative signals. Although Bullough and Lawrence (1960) and Iversen (1960) developed the chalone theory in 1960, the existence of growth inhibitors was not demonstrated until recently. This theory postulates a simple feedback mechanism: tissues produce specific compounds (chalones), which inhibit proliferation in the producing tissues. The more tissue is present, the more chalone will be produced and the less growth will proceed. Purification of growth inhibitors has progressed rather slowly. Several attempts have been undertaken to purify a chalone from the epidermis, granulocytes, lymphocytes, or liver (for reviews, see Iversen 1981; Langen 1985; Chap. 28).
