Abstract excerpt
Cathepsins B and L and their endogenous inhibitors were evaluated in rat embryo fibroblast lines which have been developed as a model system for the study of malignant progression and metastatic capability. Three groups of lines were analyzed: 1) immortalized/non-tumorigenic, 2) tumorigenic/metastatic lines transfected with c-Ha-ras, and 3) metastatic revertants transfected with c-Ha-ras+the E1A region of...
