Abstract excerpt
We have examined the metastatic capacity of different clones of a chemically induced fibrosarcoma GR9. These clones have previously been characterized for their H-2 class-I and class-II phenotype, NK sensitivity and local tumor growth. Our present data show that clones which express low amounts of H-2 class-I antigens are poorly metastatic in a post-surgical spontaneous metastasis assay, while those expressing...
