## Abstract Most Merkel cell carcinomas (MCCs) contain Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) DNA, and the virus likely has a pivotal role in tumor pathogenesis. p53 and the KIT receptor tyrosine kinase have also been implicated in MCC pathogenesis, but little is known about their association with MCPyV
Lack of integrin β5 in Merkel cell carcinomas and derived cell lines is frequently associated with Merkel cell polyomavirus positivity

In our study, we investigated molecular mechanisms of increased adenoviral transduction efficacy in cisplatin-resistant human laryngeal carcinoma cells CA3 ST as compared to parental cells HEp2. Using reverse transcription-PCR, the genes potentially implicated in adenoviral entry were screened. In c
The human breast cell line HBLIOO acquires the capacity to invade normal tissues and to replace them by proliferation in vitro only at high passage levels (HPL). These cells therefore are a useful model for studying tumor progression in vitro. We have analyzed the expression of cell-surface markers
