Abstract excerpt
We have used recombinant DNA technology to engineer a set of murine 3T3 cell lines that vary in the extent to which they express TIMP, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases, and we have found that both invasiveness and tumorigenic potential are conferred when TIMP production is impaired. These cell clones were produced by transfecting immortal Swiss 3T3 cells with plasmid constructs capable of expressing...
