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, was not altered, but their metastatic capacity was greatly reduced. Tail vein injection of 10(4) ESb and...
