Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the role of integrin alpha 6 in cell attachment, spread, survival/proliferation and differentiation of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) BEL-7402 cells on various substrates by monoclonal antibody against the extracellular domain of alpha 6 subunit (IA6ED McAb). METHODS: The effect of McAb on attachment and spread of BEL-7402 cells on LN or FN substrate was examined. MTT analysis was used...
