Persistence of CD133 <sup>+</sup> Cells in Human and Mouse Glioma Cell Lines: Detailed Characterization of GL261 Glioma Cells with Cancer Stem Cell-Like Properties
31 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
The concept of cancer stem cells suggests that there are malignant stem-like cells within a tumor that are responsible for tumor renewal and resistance to cytotoxic therapies. Studies have identified glioma stem-like cells that extrude Hoechst 33342 dye, representing a double-negative "side population" (SP) thought to be selectively resistant to drug therapy. A CD133+ stem cell-like subpopulation has been...
