Abstract

From a subtractive cDNA library, we isolated several cDNA clones which showed differential expression between highly and lowly metastatic human melanoma cell lines. One clone, designated nmb, showed preferential expression in the low‐meta‐static cell lines and was chosen for further characterization. Sequence analysis revealed that this clone represents a novel gene, encoding a putative transmembrane glycoprotein which showed the highest homology to the precursor of pMEL17, a melanocyte‐specific protein. nmb RNA expression was absent in most tumor‐cell lines tested and not restricted to the melanocytic lineage. Transfection of a partial nmb cDNA into a highly metastatic melanoma cell line (BLM) resulted, in 2 of 3 transfectants, in slower subcutaneous tumor growth and, in 1 of 3 transfectants, in reduction of the potential for spontaneous metastasis in nude mice. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
