Abstract

A splice variant of CD44 (CD44v) originally discovered on metastases of a rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma (BSp73ASML) has been shown by transfection to confer metastatic behavior to nonmetastatic tumor cells (Günthert U., M. Hofmann, W. Rudy, S. Reber, M. Zöller, I. Haussmann, S. Matzku, A. Wenzel, H. Ponta, and P. Herrlich. 1991. Cell. 65:13). A monoclonal antibody (mAb), 1.1ASML, to the metastasis-specific domain of the CD44v molecule retards growth of lymph node and lung metastases of the metastatic tumor line BSp73ASML, and can efficiently prevent formation of metastases by the transfected line. The antibody is only effective when given before lymph node colonization. Anti-CD44v does not downregulate the expression of CD44v, and prevention of metastatic growth by anti-CD44v is not due to activation of any kind of immune defense. We suggest that the mAb interferes with proliferation of metastasizing tumor cells in the draining lymph node, most probably by blocking a ligand interaction. The interference with metastatic spread will greatly facilitate the exploration of the function of CD44v and, in particular, may also open new strategies for the therapy of human metastases.

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.
