Abstract
Cells with aggressive and metastatic potential are rare and their phenotypes are overwhelmed by more abundant cells. Presence of rare cell phenotypes and differential protein expression in breast and pancreatic cancer cell lines, and in primary and metastatic mouse xenografts were determined using a novel single cell analysis method.
