Demonstration of a melanoma-specific CD44 alternative splicing pattern that remains qualitatively stable, but shows quantitative changes during tumour progression.
The role of CD44 in the progression of human melanoma has mostly been characterised by qualitative changes in expression of its individual variable exons. These exons however, may be expressed to form a number of molecules, the alternative splice variants of CD44, which may be structurally and funct...
