We have investigated the effects of laminin, on the plasminogen-activator system of MCF-7 breast-carcinoma cells. MCF-7 cells were incubated on plastic or laminin-coated wells, and medium and cell lysate aliquots were assayed for tissue-type (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) by a

Enterotoxigenic strains of B. fragilis associated with childhood diarrhea produce a 20 kD zinc metalloprotease toxin (BFT). BFT is reported to cleave G-actin in vitro and also causes dramatic rounding and rearrangement of the F-actin cytoskeleton in human intestinal epithelial cell lines (HT29 and H
## Abstract CD44 is a cellβsurface glycoprotein postulated to play a role in a variety of biological processes, including lymphocyte homing and tumorβcell metastasis. Several isoforms of CD44 have been identified in human cells, and the genesis of some of these isoforms has been attributed to alter
