## Abstract Activating __BRAF__ mutations and loss of wildβtype __INK4A__ expression both occur at high frequencies in melanomas. Here, we present evidence that __BRAF__ and __INK4A__ have different effects on melanogenesis, a marker of melanocytic differentiation. Human melanoma cell line 624Mel h

Increased sialylation in cell surface glycoproteins is one characteristic feature of cancer cells, particularly related to their metastatic potential and invasiveness. Expression of lysosomal-type sialidase, which plays a major role in hydrolysis of such sialo-glycoproteins, is therefore considered
## Abstract The chemosensitivity of human melanoma cells has been studied before and after continuous __in vitro__ culture. Altogether, nine cell lines were studied, two derived from patients' biopsies, and seven from xenografts in athymic mice. The sensitivity to the agents DTIC (Dacarbazine), CCN
In order to determine the role of N-ras overexpression and mutation in malignant liver cell transformation, wild-type and mutated N-ras were transfected into the rat liver epithelial cell line OC/CDE 22, and N-ras expression, growth kinetics, growth in soft agar, and tumorigenicity in vivo as well a
