Abstract excerpt
We report here on gene transfer studies designed to investigate the function of the alpha 5 beta 1 integrin and its role in transformation. Transfection of the human alpha 5 and beta 1 cDNAs into transformed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells followed by methotrexate-induced amplification yielded clonal cell lines overexpression this fibronectin receptor. The overexpressors deposited more fibronectin in their...
