Immunoengineered magnetic-quantum dot nanobead system for the isolation and detection of circulating tumor cells
23 Apr 2021
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Highly efficient capture and detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) remain elusive mainly because of their extremely low concentration in patients' peripheral blood. METHODS: We present an approach for the simultaneous capturing, isolation, and detection of CTCs using an immuno-fluorescent magnetic nanobead system (iFMNS) coated with a monoclonal anti-EpCAM antibody. RESULTS: The developed...
