“…For qRT-PCR analysis of CTCs include SILV, MLANA, TYR, MAGEA3 and MAGE-A10 25,[62][63][64]72,104 , or more recently, ABCB5 86,87 105 . From high throughput analyses of melanoma gene expression, several key progression pathways have been identified 38,39,103,106,107 but remain to be tested as informative for CTC analysis. Key amongst these pathways are: tyrosine kinase receptors (TKRs) (e.g.…”
