ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method to determine the metastatic potential of tumor cells. In particular, this invention relates to the detecting of the expression of metalloproteinase pump protein. The expression of this protein can be determined by molecular diagnostic means such as a Northern Blot analysis or polymerase chain reaction amplification. Additionally, immunological methods can be employed to detect metalloproteinase pump protein.
