Figure 3From: Circulating tumour cells escape from EpCAM-based detection due to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition Expression profile of breast cancer cells spiked into native mouse blood. RNA was isolated and cDNA synthesis was performed. Human mRNA of Vimentin, EpCAM, MUC-1, Her2, GAPDH and PPIA was detectable at different cell numbers. No signals for murine mRNA were seen in native blood samples.Back to article page
