Cancer stem cells. (A) A model of cellular hierarchy within the tumor, with a self-perpetuating population of pluripotent cancer stem cells found on the top. (B) Various cancers encompass a subpopulation of DNA-internalizing cancer cells, referred to as TAMRA+ cancer stem cells (arrowheads): (I) sphere-forming cell line arising from human Epstein-Barr virus-induced lymphoma; (II) mouse Krebs-2 ascites; (III) a human lymphoma cell cluster. Cells (10⁶) were incubated with 0.1 mkg TAMRA-labeled DNA fragment (human Alu repeat, about 500 bp) for 1 hour at room temperature in the dark.
