Abstract 404: Murine lymphomas selected by growth rate: Aggressiveness, galectin-1 (Gal-1) expression and response to low doses of cyclophosphamide (Cy)
Abstract:L-DGE is a spontaneous poorly differentiated murine lymphoma. During tumor growth it develops lymph node metastasis at a low frequency. Gal-1 is an immunomodulatory protein that acts as a regulator of T cell homeostasis and plays an important role in immune tolerance and tumor-immune escape. Overexpression of Gal-1 is associated with tumor progression and metastasis. Based on our previous findings, our aim was to obtain by a divergent selection two L-DGE variants that differ in tumor growth rate in order to st… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
