Enforced Expression of MCAM/MUC18 Increases In vitro Motility and Invasiveness and In vivo Metastasis of Two Mouse Melanoma K1735 Sublines in a Syngeneic Mouse Model
1 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
Human MCAM/MUC18 has been shown to increase metastasis of human melanoma cells in xenograft mouse systems. To be more relevant to understanding the progression of clinical melanoma and for designing better preclinical therapeutic trials, it is highly desirable to establish a syngeneic mouse model for studying the mechanisms of MCAM/MUC18-mediated tumorigenesis and metastasis of melanoma cells. To reach this goal,...
