One of the many features of the malignant phenotype, in vitro and in vivo, is elevated heparanase production and activity. Using in vitro model systems, we examined the capacity of murine (B16B15b) and human (70W) brain-metastatic melanoma cells to degrade the subendothelial matrix produced by endot

The interaction of malignant cells with blood-vessel endothelial cells and their underlying basement membrane is an important step in the development of secondary metastases. We investigated the interactions of highly metastatic human tumor cells, the A-549 adenocarcinoma of the lung, with cultured
The interleukin-I (Y (IL-I) gene was introduced by retroviral gene transfer into the A375P human melanoma cell line. Two hygromycin-resistant colonies, colony 3 and colony 6, which respectively do not and do express and release IL-I, were selected on the basis of Northern blot and ELISA. Both coloni
