Circulating tumor cells in the peripheral have proven to be independent prognostic factors for overall survival the monitoring of therapeutic success of hum...
...ot in the peripheral blood of dogs. All six RT-PCR assays, were sensitive enough detect one carcinoma cell admixed in 106 or more peripheral blood leukocytes, a common concentration of circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood of human breast cancer patients. These five mRNA markers may therefore be used to detect canine mammary circulating tumor cells and to study their spatio-temporal presence in the peripheral blood of canine patients. Two canine mammary carcinoma cell lines, CMM115 and CMM26, and peripheral blood samples of 3 healthy dog donors were used for microarray analysis. All blood donors were female, showed no signs of infe...
