In vivo tumor cell migration through integrin-dependent pathways is key to the metastatic behavior of malignant cells. Using quantitative in vivo assays and intravital imaging, we assessed the impact of cell migration, regulated by the integrin-associated tetraspanin CD151, on spontaneous human tumor cell metastasis. We demonstrate that promoting immobility through a CD151-specific metastasis blocking mAb prevents tumor cell dissemination by inhibiting intravasation without affecting primary tum ...[more]
