Abstract
We generated an enhanced lung-colonizing variant of MBT-2 cells. Our MBT-2V cells showed more aggressive and invasive metastatic ability than that of the MBT-2 cells. Zymography and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analyses indicated that matrix metalloproteinase-9 might be associated with the metastatic ability of MBT-2V cells.
