Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tissue disaggregation and the cell sorting technique by surface markers has played an important role in isolating lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) from lymphatic malformation (LM). However, this technique may have the drawback of impurities or result in isolation failure because it is dependent on surface marker expressions, the heterogeneity of which has been found in the lymphatic system. We...
