Distribution of plasma fibronectin in the metastatic lesion of cancer: experimental study by autoradiography.
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.
