Representative analysis on ascites‐derived cells from one patient (#10). Pictures (left side) display the morphology of ascites‐derived cells in culture before (original pellet) and after separation into small and big fractions using a 15 μm strainer. Corresponding FACS results show the percentage of immune cells (CD45⁺), mesenchymal‐like cells (CD90⁺), and tumor cells (EpCAM⁺/CD24⁺) in each population. Stained samples (n = 37) were incubated with the corresponding antibody in a blocking solution (1%BSA, 20%AB blocking in PBS), and unstained samples were prepared in the blocking solution.
