Abstract excerpt
Integrins have been implicated in tumor metastasis. To investigate this, we generated beta1 integrin-negative double knockout (DKO) mutants of the highly metastatic ESb murine T-lymphoma cell line. The in vivo growth capacity of the mutants, which had lost alpha4beta1 and alpha6beta1 expression,...
