摘要
A novel auto-adhere method was proposed based on auto-adhesion process driven by chemokines for the screening of circulating tumor cells within the whole blood samples. Initial fluorescent assay tests showed that when combined with inflammation induced from IL-1, live cancer cell line Hep G2 would attach to the surface of epithelium cells, but not the dead ones after the surface was washed with PBS. Therefore, it is concluded that this auto-adhere CTCs diagnosis method may serve as a possible platform for future development for cancer early detection and treatment stage assessment.
