Efficient enrichment of circulating tumor cells from peripheral blood by microfluidic immunomagnetic bead sorter
Objective To establish a method for isolation and enrichment of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from peripheral blood utilizing Isoflux system (microfluidic immunomagnetic bead sorter). Methods IsoFlux system was used to separate and enrich CTCs in peripheral blood of 16 patients with lung cancer (clinical stage Ⅰ~Ⅳ
4 cases in each stage)
and the marker protein of CTCs was marked and then identified by immunofluorescence assay. Results There were 11 patients with cytokeratine-positive and CD45-negative CTCs
and the detection rates of CTCs in clinical stages Ⅰ~Ⅳ were 50%
50%
75% and 100%
respectively. Conclusion CTCs can be simply isolated and enriched from peripheral blood using the IsoFlux system at high specificity and sensitivity.
