Abstract excerpt
Breast cancer epithelial cells with the CD44+/CD24-/low phenotype possess tumor-initiating cells and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) capacity. Massive parallel sequencing can be an interesting approach to deepen the molecular characterization of these cells. We characterized CD44+/CD24-/cytokeratin(Ck)+/CD45- cells isolated through flow cytometry from 43 biopsy and 6 mastectomy samples harboring different...
