Abstract excerpt
Molecular profiling of human cancer is complicated by both stromal contamination and cellular heterogeneity within samples from tumor biopsies. In this study, we developed a tissue-processing protocol using mechanical dissociation and flow cytometric sorting that resulted in the respective enrichment of stromal and tumor fractions from frozen pancreatic adenocarcinoma samples. Molecular profiling of DNA from the...
