Analyzing aggressiveness of cancer cells, useful e.g. for evaluating invasivity and tumorigenicity, also to predict sensitivity to treatments, is based on measuring amount of polymerized actin

摘要

Analyzing the aggressiveness of cancer cells by measuring the amount of polymerized actin (I) at the steady state, in a cell lysate, is new. Independent claims are also included for (1) identifying potential anticancer agents (A) by using the new method; and (2) a kit for performing the new method.
