COMPOSITION AND KIT FOR CANCER CELL, AND METHOD FOR SEPARATING CANCER CELL USING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are a composition and a kit for isolating cancer stem cells or circulating tumor cells, a method for isolating cancer stem cells and circulating tumor cells in biological samples, and a method for diagnosing metastatic cancer. More specifically, the present invention provides a composition including a substance specifically coupling to discoidin domain receptor (DDR) 1 or a piece thereof for isolating cancer stem cells or circulating tumor cells. Thus, cancer stem cells or circulating tumor cells can be efficiently isolated or detected, and metastatic cancer can be diagnosed at high precision and sensitivity.
