Results of migration assays for primary glioblastoma cells responding to HGF and serum. A. Migrated tumor cells from an ultrasonic aspiration of the first tumor specimen. Tumor cells retained their migratory potential following ultrasonic aspiration. Examples of migrated nuclei (large arrow) and clear lumens of pores (small arrow) are indicated. Semi-transparent filters covered the migrated cells on glass slides. B. Migrated cells that were obtained from minced tumor tissue. The darkly stained, rounded nuclei of tumor cells from aspirations and minced tissue were comparable in morphology and size, with diameters of 11.4 ± 0.9 and 12.2 ± 1.4 μm, respectively. Diff Quik stain. Magnification is indicated by the 8 μm diameter of the pores. These cells were derived from the tumor shown in Fig. 1.
