When cells derived from frozen biopsies were selectively enriched for the FcγRIIB1 expression and positive clones were established as cell lines in vitro, the phenotype analysis confirmed the melanoma identity of most of these cell lines by the expression of melanoma marker (GD2, Mel/14) and the absence of hematopoietic cells marker (CD45, CD14, CD1a, CD4, CD15, CD20). Here, FUT4 is linked to melanoma.
