Activated human lymphocytes and aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphomas express a homologue of the rat metastasis-associated variant of CD44.

Abstract excerpt

A recently described splice variant of CD44 expressed in metastasizing cell lines of rat tumors, has been shown to confer metastatic potential to nonmetastasizing rat pancreatic carcinoma and sarcoma cell lines. Using antibodies raised against a bacterial fusion protein encoded by variant CD44 sequences, we have explored the expression of variant CD44 glycoproteins on human lymphoid cells and tissues and on...
