Abstract excerpt
A model system of metastasis, L-929 fibroblasts and a derivative cell line, A-9 cells, was developed in order to compare the membrane properties of high- and low-metastatic cells cultured in chemically defined medium. The metastatic ability of L-929 and A-9 cells in athymic (nude) mice was examin...
