I'm working with ascites and I’m searching methods to separate the epithelial cancer cells and culture them. I’ve tried with plaques low attachment but didn’t work. Someone can help me, please. Another method? Thanks!!!
I certainly agree with Thomas Mohr. Selecting epithelial markers like Cytokeratin 5/8 or E-Cadherin positive cells by FACS is the frequently used method for isolating epithelial cells from the mesenchymal cells.
