Abstract excerpt
This study examined the behaviour of nine human malignant oral keratinocyte cell lines following orthotopic transplantation to the floor of the mouth of athymic mice. Tumourigenesis, local spread, and metastatic dissemination were correlated with known cellular responses to transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1). Six of nine cell lines were tumourigenic; four of these cell lines showed local spread which...
