Monocyte chemoattractant protein correlates with angiogenesis in metastatic melanoma
Biopsies from human metastatic melanomas were analyzed in order to elucidate the relationship between MCP-1/CCL-2 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) chemokine expression by tumor cells, angiogenesis and aggressiveness in tumor development. The chemokine was expressed in 100% of the cases, with het...
