| Popis: | Four melanoma cell lines with different metastatic potential were used to study the expression of 67 kD laminin receptor (LnR) gene by traditional immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction techniques. Intensive labeling of LnR protein was found in cells with high metastatic potential. Also, the result from PCR and RT-PCR proved the correlation between LnR gene and metastatic potential of melanoma cells in addition to other cell types from previous studies. It is, thus, suggested that the expression of LnR gene can be used as an early marker for the malignancy of melanoma cells. |
