Identification of the three CTCs isolated from LC patients.

Notes: Immunofluorescent staining detects the expression of epithelial markers (red fluorescence) and mesenchymal markers (green fluorescence). Representative images of the three types of CTCs isolated from LC patients are shown from left to right. (a) E-CTCs: epithelial marker+, mesenchymal marker-, CD45-, and DAPI+ cells; (b) E/M-CTCs: epithelial marker+, mesenchymal marker+, CD45-, and DAPI+ cells; (c) M-CTCs: epithelial marker-, mesenchymal marker+, CD45-, and DAPI+ cells.
