title: Plasma fibronectin prepared from patients with metastatic breast cancer shows in vitro aggregation property.
abstract: Plasma fibronectin purified from the plasma of metastatic breast cancer patients has been studied by light scattering. It clearly shows abnormal self-aggregation properties; the possible significance of these findings to the in vivo situation is discussed.
