Constitutive Expression of the α4 Integrin Correlates with Tumorigenicity and Lymph Node Metastasis of the B16 Murine Melanoma

The lymphatic system plays a critical role in melanoma metastasis, and yet, virtually no information exists regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that take place between melanoma cells and the lymphatic vasculature. Here, we generated B16-F1 melanoma cells that expressed high (B16α4+) and...
