## Abstract A spontaneous mammary adenocarcinoma (AC) from an inbred female rat was investigated with regard to secretion of neutral proteases. Cultures of neoplastic epithelial cells derived from the tumour secreted an enzyme that fulfilled the criteria for a specific collagenase. In contrast to c
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human type-IV collagenase were developed and used for studies on enzyme activity and tumor-cell invasion in vitro. Fifteen MAb clones were generated against the enzyme purified from serum-free culture medium of human melanoma cells (A2058). Five clones affecting
## Abstract Radiationβinduced damage in the central nervous system (CNS) is believed to be targeted to glial or endothelial cells or both, although the pathophysiology of the process is still poorly understood. In this study, we irradiated rat astrocytes with single doses of Xβrays and then estimat
## Abstract Human thyroid cells in culture take up and organify ^125^I when cultured in TSH (acting through cAMP) and insulin. They also secrete urokinase (uPA) and tissueβtype (tPA) plasminogen activators (5β100 IU/10^6^cells/day). TSH and insulin both decreased secreted PA activity (PAA), uPA and
