The best stimulant for all mammalian cell is fetal calf serum or bovine serum. If wish to have further induction with a particular mitogen, choose a cell specific mitogen. Hope this answers
I would like to add that one can increase the percentage of serum in the medium up to 20%. Some cell lines of epithelial and mesenchymal origin tend to do better at this higher serum levels. Further, one can add other growth factors such as FGF and PDGF.
