Abstract excerpt
K-1735 clones 10 and M2 are cell lines cloned from a UV-induced murine melanoma. While both lines are highly tumorigenic, only the M2 cells are highly invasive in vitro and metastatic in vivo. Here we have exposed the clone 10 cells to the synthetic peptide PA22-2, which contains the IKVAV sequence from the A chain of laminin and which, like laminin, induces collagenase IV production and enhances metastasis...
