Figure 1: ISET-filtered CTCs from patients with either LS or ES SCLC co-express VE-cadherin and CKs.

Figure 1

(a) Pseudo-coloured ISET filters stained with DAPI (white) and antibodies to pan-CK (green), CD45 (red) and VE-cadherin (blue). CTCs are classified as DAPI+VE/CD45−VE/CK+VE. Scale bar, 20 μm. (b) Top panel, total CTC counts per ml for CK+VE/VE-cadherin+VE CTCs (blue bars) versus CK+VE/VE-cadherin−VE CTCs (green bars) are shown for patients 1 to 38. (b) Bottom panel, the percentage of CK+VE/VE-cadherin+VE CTCs (blue bars) versus CK+VE/VE-cadherin−VE CTCs (green bars) is shown for patients 1–38.
