Increased release of tumour cells by collagenase at acid pH: a possible mechanism for metastasis

Increased release of tumour cells by collagenase at acid pH: a possible mechanism for metastasis

G A Turner. Experientia. .

Abstract

The ability of collagenase to disaggregate a solid metastasizing lymphosarcoma has been shown to considerably increase with reducing environmental pH. It is suggested that this effect may be operating in vivo to release cells from a primary tumour.
