Abstract

Results: Detection and isolation of single EPCAM+ as well as EPCAM- cells was successfully established using blood samples spiked with low cell numbers of known BC cell lines displaying different EPCAM expression. CellSelector re-analysis of CellSearch cartridges revealed comparable CTC detection rates. EPCAM-/CK+ cells were successfully recovered from CellSearch "waste" samples by size selection and isolated from filter membranes by micromanipulation using CellSelector. CapG
