enrichment of intact peripheral blood dendritic cells by immunomagnetic depletion
introduction: enrichment of intact peripheral blood dendritic cells (dcs) has been done using rosette and immunomagnetic depletion techniques. material and methods: peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated using ficoll density gradient centrifugation and t lymphocytes were depleted through reaction with aet- treated sheep red blood cells. the remaining cells were depleted from lineage ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous detection of circulating tumor cells in patients with colorectal cancer by immunomagnetic enrichment using different EpCAM-specific antibodies
BACKGROUND Circulating tumor cells (CTC) and disseminated tumor cells (DTC) are thought to be responsible for metastasis, so the detection of CTC may serve as individual prognostic factor in patients suffering from colorectal cancer. Therefore, a series of immunomagnetic enrichment methods for CTC have been developed using a variety of monoclonal antibodies against the Epithelial Cell Adhesion ...
متن کاملGene expression profiling of circulating tumor cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from breast cancer patients
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that are released from a tumor into the bloodstream. The presence of CTCs in peripheral blood has been associated with metastasis formation in patients with breast cancer. Therefore, the molecular characterization of CTCs may improve diagnostics and support treatment decisions. We performed gene expression profiling to evaluate the enriched CTCs a...
متن کاملClinical significance of cytokeratin 20-positive circulating tumor cells detected by a refined immunomagnetic enrichment assay in colorectal cancer patients.
PURPOSE Current immunomagnetic enrichment method can only detect general epithelial antigens of circulating tumor cells (CTC). Further characterization of the CTCs to provide specific information on the tumor type is not possible. We attempted to overcome this drawback by developing the methodology for using a gastrointestinal-specific anti-cytokeratin (CK) 20 antibody to detect CTCs in colorec...
متن کاملCirculating tumor cell detection: A direct comparison between negative and unbiased enrichment in lung cancer.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), isolated as a 'liquid biopsy', may provide important diagnostic and prognostic information. Therefore, rapid, reliable and unbiased detection of CTCs are required for routine clinical analyses. It was demonstrated that negative enrichment, an epithelial marker-independent technique for isolating CTCs, exhibits a better efficiency in the detection of CTCs compared...
