Abstract excerpt
The level of expression of the alpha 5/beta 1 integrin fibronectin receptor (FnR) strongly affects the growth rate of CHO cell tumors in nude mice. Here we report that alpha 5/beta 1 expression also influences the organization of the tumor vasculature. Tumors formed from CHO clones defective in F...
