Abstract excerpt
To study metastasis at the single-cell level we transduced highly metastatic ESb lymphoma cells with a retroviral expression vector containing the lacZ (bacterial beta-galactosidase) gene. This allowed single ESb-lacZ tumor cells to be detected in infiltrated target organs by means of X-Gal stain...
