title: Distribution of plasma fibronectin in the metastatic lesion of cancer: experimental study by autoradiography.
abstract: The author studied the distribution, localization and participation of plasma fibronectin in the metastatic lesion of experimental cancer in mice. The experimental animals used were Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC)-bearing C57BL/6 female mice. Radioactivity in the lungs of LLC-bearing mice were higher than those of the lungs of normal mice. Radioactive compounds were identified in the lung metastasis of LLC-bearing mouse lungs by whole body macroautoradiography and microautoradiography.
