Figure 2. E-cadherin protein expression occurs in a subset of xenograft glioma lines.

Nineteen glioma cell lines propagated as xenografts in mouse flank were examined by Western Blot for expression of various cadherin and catenin proteins. Actin serves as a loading control. Positive control lysates are from MCF7 cells (E-cadherin, β-catenin), UMRC3 cells (N-cadherin), and MDA231 cells (cadherin-11). Low levels of E-cadherin expression were detected in a small subset of these glioma xenografts.
