Figure 3. Spheroid invasion assay.
A. Spindle shaped cells highly express L1CAM, while L1CAM expression on cobble shaped cells is very low. B. Spindle and cobble cells form spheroids equally well and invade when embedded in a collagen matrix (C. and D.). Note that the invasion of the non-L1CAM expressing cobble shaped cells (C) is hardly affected by L1CAM neutralising antibodies, while spindle cell invasion can be strongly inhibited by the L1CAM neutralising antibodies (D)
