Immuno-magnetic cell separation used in identification of genes associated with site-preferenced cancer methastasis formation

摘要

Method for identifying genes with site specific or site preferred expression in target cells that are initially detected and isolated by repeated immuno-magnetic procedures. The purified target cells are then exposed to known cloning procedures. Preferred target cells are malignant cells, e.g. metastatic cells. Gene cloning methods may include the differential display or substractive hybridization approaches.
