AR-V7 Positivity Varies with Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Enrichment and Novel CTC Enrichment Is Able to Reduce AR-V7 False Positivity
2020-02-20
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The AR-V7 splice variant is a cause of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, testing for the presence of AR-V7 by RT-PCR shows AR-V7 positivity in healthy individuals. We hypothesized that the positivity reflected contamination by hematopoietic cells. We tried a novel CTC enrichment instrument using Celsee® to clear hematopoietic cells. <h4>Methods:</h4> We tested whole bl...
