Biography
The focus on the lymphatic spread of tumor cells began with the establishment of a metastasizing rat pancreatic adenocarcinoma, the establishment of monoclonal antibodies selectively recognizing a metastatic subline and the subsequent expression cloning of a CD44 variant isoform (CD44v), the tetraspanin molecule D6.1A (homologue to the human CO029), the α6ß4 integrin, the cell-cell adhesion molecule D5.7A (homologue to EpCAM) and C4.4A, a molecule with homology to the uPA receptor.
