Quantitative determination of tumor cell intravasation in a real-time polymerase chain reaction-based assay.

Abstract excerpt

Tumor cells acquire the ability to enter blood vessels surrounding the primary tumor, endowing them with the capacity to disseminate and become established in distant sites, originating a metastasis. Determination of the intravasation ability of tumor cells is thus important, as it can be correlated with their potential malignancy. To analyze the intravasation phenotype of human tumor cells in vivo, we performed...
