Therapeutic effect against human xenograft tumors in nude mice by the third generation microtubule stabilizing epothilones.

abstract：:Redistribution of specialized molecules in migrating cells develops asymmetry between two opposite cell poles, the leading edge and the uropod. We show that acquisition of a motile phenotype in T lymphocytes results in the asymmetric redistribution of ganglioside GM3- and GM1-enriched raft domains to the leading edge ...
