Figure 1. CTC enumeration and MET protein staining in blood samples evaluated on the CellSearch system.

Figure 1

(A) Distribution of CTC counts per 7.5 ml blood in 256 patients, indicating the number and percentage of patients in each CTC enumeration subgroup (173 patients with CTCs = 0 are not shown). (B) Representative examples of MET protein staining in CTCs. Upper panel, CTC exhibiting strong MET expression (score 3+), medium and bottom panels, no MET staining detected (score 0). (C) Distribution of MET scores in CTCs from patients with ≥ 5 CTCs/7.5 ml, n = total number of CTCs detected in each sample.
