## Abstract Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) regulates a number of cellular processes, including cell migration. Exploring the role of RKIP in cell adhesion, we found that overexpression of RKIP in Madin‐Darby canine kidney (MDCK) epithelial cells increases adhesion to the substratum, while decr

## Abstract The correlation between tumorigenicity and cell‐surface adhesiveness was investigated in eight mouse fibroblastoid cell lines. Four of the lines (Mc 11‐Mc 15) were derived from mouse MC‐induced fibrosarcomas, two were derivatives of L cells (A9, A9HT), and two (clone 3 and clone 7 H7F4)
