主权项

1. A method of assessing the tumorigenic potential of individual tumor populations in a population of cancer cells comprising:
a) isolating a sample from the subject comprising the population of cancer cells; b) separating individual tumor populations in the population of cancer cells from each other based on differential RNA or protein expression; and c) assessing the tumorigenic potential of the separated individual tumor populations.
