Research Abstract |
This study examined the tumorigenic effect of SCCA (Squamous cell carcinoma antigen) by stably expression or suppuression in an oral squamous cell carcinoma cell line. There was no significant difference in the cellular morphology or proliferative activity, which could have been caused by SCCA transfection, between the SCCA suppressive transfectants and the controls. These results suggested that SCCA do not directly play a role in the cellular morphology or proliferative activity.
