Abstract excerpt
The interaction of the cell surface receptor CD44 molecular with its ligands (addressin, extracellular matrix etc.,) plays an important role in fulfilling the lymphocyte homing and immune reaction. Recently alternatively spliced products of CD44 gene are found to be involved in tumor metastasis as well. Our report found that CD44 prototype RNA (CD44S) was present in all five tumor cell lines. Isoform CD44 RNA...
