Comparative study of the relationship between in vitro motility and invasion potentials of three mouse forestomach cancer (MFC) cell lines]

The relationship between motility of cancer cells and their invasiveness is important in understanding the invasion mechanisms of malignant tumors. The in vitro motility of three MFC cell lines was measured by the Boyden chamber technique. Statistical analysis of the results showed significant differences in vitro motility among these three cell lines. The motility correlated with in vitro invasion potentials.
