Identification of CD133-Positive Radioresistant Cells in Atypical Teratoid/ Rhabdoid Tumor
6 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) is an extremely malignant neoplasm in the central nervous system (CNS) which occurs in infancy and childhood. Recent studies suggested that CD133 could be considered a marker for brain cancer stem-like cells (CSCs). However, the role of CD133 in AT/RT has never been investigated. Herein we report the isolation of CD133-positive cells (CD133(+)), found to have the potential...
