| Abstract: | A new type of polypeptide containing the repeating sequence of cell attachment site in laminin, poly(Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg), was synthesized by the polymerization procedure with diphenylphosphoryl azide (DPPA). We found that this polypeptide inhibited the metastatic formation in the lung of malignant tumour cells far more effectively than pentapeptide. |
