A study in isolating circulating cancer cells from blood.
نویسنده
چکیده
Samples of blood from 49 cancer cases were examined for free cancer cells. Cells identified as cancer cells were found in the blood of four. Cells which looked highly suspicious of being cancer cells were isolated from the blood of nine other cases. No conclusion was possible regarding the type of cells in eight cases. This illustrates the difficulty of cytological diagnosis and shows the need for new methods of identification.

Microdevice for the isolation and enumeration of cancer cells from blood.
Cancer metastasis is the main attribute to cancer-related deaths. Furthermore, clinical reports have shown a strong correlation between the disease development and number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of cancer patients. Here, we present a label-free microdevice capable of isolating cancer cells from whole blood via their distinctively different physical properties s...
متن کاملDistribution of Circulating Immune Cells in Responder and Non-Responder Individuals to Hepatitis B Vaccine
Unresponsiveness to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been shown to be associated with dysfunction of the presenting cells (APC) and defect in the specific B-lymphocyte and/or T-lymphocyte repertoires. Direct determination of the frequency of specific T-lymphocytes together with complementary analysis of the naive circulating immune cells could provide valuable information about the cel...
متن کاملKRAS mutational status analysis of peripheral blood isolated circulating tumor cells in metastatic colorectal patients
The present study describes an optimized method for isolating peripheral blood circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and performing KRAS mutation analysis. The approach combines isolation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and immunomagnetic labeling with CD45 and CD326 human microbeads with KRAS analysis performed with a Therascreen KRAS kit by quantitative PCR. KRAS mutations were detected in the...
متن کاملIsolating epidermal growth factor receptor overexpressing carcinoma cells from human whole blood by bio-ferrography.
BACKGROUND The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is overexpressed in carcinoma. In some cases, including in colorectal cancer, it is used as a therapeutic target. Bio-Ferrography is a nondestructive method for isolating magnetized cells and tissues from a fluid onto a glass slide based on their interaction with an external, strong, and focused magnetic field. METHODS Here, we implement ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two different intensities of physical activity on circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) in healthy young women. For this purpose, 15 female students from volunteers were randomly selected via questionnaire (group 1: mean age 22 ±1/8 years, BMI 20/81±1/91 kg/m2, n = 8. group 2: mean age 21 ±1/5 years, BMI 20/38 ± 1/66 kg/m2, ...
