Abstract excerpt
We described the earliest in vivo changes of in vitro transformed cells of various origin manifested in highly-increased H(2)O(2)-catabolizing and PGE(2)-releasing activities. We designate it as [H(2)O(2)(CA) + PGE(S)]-phenotype. It provided tumor cells with resistance to cytotoxicity of Mph and NK cells and correlated with increased tumorigenicity. Used as a functional marker of the early step of in vivo tumor...
