Genomic Profiling of Isolated Circulating Tumor Cells from Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients
8 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTC) from blood is technically challenging because cells are rare and difficult to isolate. We developed a novel approach to isolate CTCs from blood via immunomagnetic enrichment followed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (IE-FACS). Isolated CTCs were subjected to genome-wide copy number analysis via array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). In...
