... and by fluid phase endocytosis (FPE). The efficiencies of these 2 pathways were compared experimentally by incubation of the human A431 epithelial carcinoma cell line with epidermal growth factor (EGF) to measure RME, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to measure FPE. A quantitative analysis was ...
