Three types of CTCs in kidney cancers. Left panel showed the images of epithelial, mixed and mesenchymal CTCs. Epithelial CTCs presented only Alexa Fluor 594 (Red color) labeled epithelial markers (EpCAM and CK8/18/19), mesenchymal CTCs exhibited only Alexa Fluor 488 (Green color) labeled mesenchymal markers (Vimentin and Twist), and mixed CTCs having both epithelial and mesenchymal markers were stained with both green and red immunofluorescent dyes. Right panel showed the distribution of three CTCs types in kidney cancers.
