Abstract excerpt
The highly metastatic B16a melanoma has been shown to express higher levels of cathepsin B (CB) mRNA when compared to the less metastatic variants, B16-F1 and B16-F10, and with normal mouse tissues. This increased expression is now shown to be due to increased gene transcription by nuclear run-off assays and measurements of mRNA stability. Transient expression assays, using promoter fragments from the mouse and...
