Carcinoembryonic Antigen, a Human Tumor Marker, Cooperates with Myc and Bcl-2 in Cellular Transformation
19 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor marker that is overexpressed in many human cancers and functions in vitro as a homotypic intercellular adhesion molecule. We have investigated the possibility of synergy between CEA, v-Myc, and Bcl-2 in the transformation of cells with differentiation capacity. We find that v-Myc increases the cell division rate and maximum density of rat L6 myoblasts but also markedly...
