Abstract excerpt
Using a recently developed model of human tumor spontaneous metastasis in immunosuppressed newborn rats, we selected variants with different metastatic abilities from the human melanoma cell line M4Be. We used 4 in vivo selection approaches, by direct serial tumor transplantations or by techniques involving in vitro reculture of the cells recovered from s.c. tumors or lung and lymph-node metastases. In addition,...
