Patterns of circulating tumor cells identified by CEP8, CK and CD45 in pancreatic cancer

Abstract excerpt

To improve the identification for CTCs with weak or negative CK and diploid CTCs in pancreatic cancer, we combined immune-staining of CK, CD45, DAPI and fluorescence in situ hybridization with the centromere of chromosome 8 (CEP8) probe method. CTCs in 3.75 mL of blood were depleted for CD45 positive cells with anti-CD45 antibodies and identified by combining CK, CD45, DAPI and CEP8 in 61 cases including 22...
