Previous successful transplantation of human primary prostatic carcinomas into nude mice has been described as "close to zero." When injected in Matrigel instead of culture medium, 25,000-fold fewer cells of the PC-3 human prostatic carcinoma cell line were required for the growth of tumors in nude mice during a 3-month period of observation; similar enhancement was observed with two other human prostatic carcinoma cell lines. Six of ten primary human prostatic carcinomas were transplanted successfully into nude mice when Matrigel was used as the vehicle.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007797 Laminin Large, noncollagenous glycoprotein with antigenic properties. It is localized in the basement membrane lamina lucida and functions to bind epithelial cells to the basement membrane. Evidence suggests that the protein plays a role in tumor invasion. Merosin,Glycoprotein GP-2,Laminin M,Laminin M Chain,Chain, Laminin M,Glycoprotein GP 2,M Chain, Laminin
