Abstract excerpt
Fibronectin (FN) modulates the behavior of the poorly differentiated, human colon adenocarcinoma-derived BCS-TC2 cells by promoting adhesion through the alpha(5)beta(1)-integrin, as this effect is blocked by anti-alpha(5) and beta(1 )chain antibodies. BCS-TC2 cells are not tumorigenic in vivo, but are able to form tumors when coinjected with FN in nude mice. From these tumors, a tumorigenic cell subline...
