Figure 3. Morphological characterization of CD45/EpCAM-negative/CD44+/CD24/uPAR+/−/ int β1+/− CTC subsets cultured as in vitro 3D CTC tumorspheres.

Figure 3

FACS-enriched CTC subsets derived from breast cancer patient cultured in Mammocult media (StemCell Technologies, Inc.). CTC subsets grew as in vitro 3D CTC tumorspheres using stem cell and non-adherent conditions. White arrows indicated small-vesicle-like cells. Images were taken at 40X by phase contrast microscopy (Zeiss, Inc.). Representative images are shown.
