Characterization of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) in peripheral blood

Cytometry PART A, Volume 81A, Issue 7, 549-551 (2012)
Raskit Lachmann, Paola Lanuti, Sebastiano Miscia

Description: This panel was optimized for the evaluation of circulating endothelial cells (CECs) in peripheral blood. The combination of three different endothelial cell markers enables a reasonable analysis of CECs. The panel, so far tested on fresh human peripheral and cord blood, can be used to enumerate CECs in a dual platform method.

Species: Human

Tissue: Cord blood, Peripheral blood

Cell Subset: Endothelial

Machine: BD FACSCanto 2
