Whole-Genome Amplification of Single Circulating Tumor Cells from Mice Xenografts
摘要
The genomic analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can help us identify their specific characteristics and reveal intratumor heterogeneity while also reducing the need for invasive sampling. However, studying single CTCs can be challenging, as whole-genome amplification (WGA) is needed to obtain enough genetic material for high-throughput sequencing. Here, we present a protocol for isolating single CTCs from mouse xenografts, followed by WGA using the Ampli1WGA Plus kit.
