Using 816 FIO murine melanoma cells and sublines generated from the JBlMS melanoma which exhibit various degrees of melanogenesis, the relationships among differentiation, tumorigenicity, and metastatic potential were examined. The effect of melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), which specifically s

## Abstract Alterations in the expression of certain genes or in their products can render benign tumor cells metastatic. Experimentally this has been quickly performed by transferring dominantly acting oncogenes such as cβHβras^EJ^ into susceptible cells, but __in vivo__ such a rapid qualitative c
The dissemination of cells from a primary tumor, resulting in the progressive growth of metastatic carcinoma in distant sites, i s the most common cause of death of cancer patients. The observations from clinical studies and the results of experimental studies using rodent tumors and human cancer ce
High-molecular-weight genomic DNA isolated from a human cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (AS) was assayed for its ability to induce tumorigenic transformation of NIH 3T3 cells. Subcutaneous injection of NIH 3T3 cells cotransfected with DNAs from AS tumor and pSV2-neo plasmid not only induced tumors
Endemic Burkitt's lymphoma (eBL) is characterized by the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and a chromosomal translocation which results in deregulation and constitutive expression of the c-myc proto-oncogene. In order to examine the role played by activation of c-myc in determining the eBL pheno
