Bottom Line: Possible sources of host contamination were also investigated, but these did not show WGA binding patterns that were similar to that obtained for the tumour.Conversely, if 1 degree tumour was transplanted into the liver, the WGA binding of the resultant growth...

Bottom Line: The presence of cellular aggregates in cell suspensions derived from human solid tumours often complicates subsequent evaluation of colony formation in primary soft agar cultures (Agrez et al., 1982b).In the present study, performance of a conventional colony...

Bottom Line: Not Available.

Bottom Line: In 2/16 hairy litter mate mice, cell surface antibody binding by GYL cells was twice that found with 8 other human tumour cell lines (including 2 other kidney cancer cell lines).Six out of 8 GYL tumour bearing nude mice tested had elevated plasma levels of...

Bottom Line: Line T5 was weakly metastatic, capable of a minor degree of lung colonization in 8% of hosts, while line WT2 failed to establish any grossly or histologically detectable pulmonary foci.Subcutaneous metastatic frequency of one tumour line was significantly reduced...

Bottom Line: Metastases developed from the squamous carcinomas exclusively.Desmosomes and gap junctions were detected in basal cell carcinomas whereas, in squamous carcinomas, tight junctions were also seen.While all three types of junction were found in the primary squamous...

Bottom Line: Computed tomographic scanning of the chest in 100 patients with newly diagnosed malignant lymphoma detected mediastinal lymphadenopathy (39%) and parenchymal deposits (15%) with a significantly greater sensitivity and specificity than conventional radiological...

Bottom Line: Not Available.

Bottom Line: Not Available.

Bottom Line: Plasminogen activator and tumour angiogenesis factor were the malignancy-associated markers.The normal adult brain-derived lines showed some differentiated astroglial features and expressed low levels of the malignancy-associated properties.Plasminogen activator...
