Abstract:10600 Background: MAINTRAC as developed by our coworkers from Jena finds more CETC. They found CETC in 90% of high risk patients. Circulating cells in epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT+) should be detectable in early disease. Methods: 2 colours (7AAD, EP-FITC) detected living and dead cells. Cells in EMT (EP-FITC, Vim-PE) were analysed in paralell. Complex marker expression urged us to introduce a three colour technique. 1. EPCAM-FITC, Vimentin-PE and DAPI , marking living or dead cells in EMT. 2. EP-FIT… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
