Summary The GI-101 human breast tumour xenograft line is unique in that it spontaneously metastasises to the lungs of athymic murine hosts from subcutaneous trochar implants. Both tumour and lung metastases are positive for normal human breast tissue markers. GI-101 also is positive for the p53 antigen but negative for the c-erbB-2 oncogene.
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.
