To improve cell recovery of trophoblast and nucleated red blood cells from maternal blood for diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, we have investigated the use of a magnetic sorting system that utilizes a ferrofluid. The main advantage of this system is that the beads used are small enough to all
Clinical studies including thousands of breast cancer patients have shown that c-erbB-2 is amplified and overexpressed in 20-30% of invasive human breast cancers and that it is associated with distant metastasis in specified patient subgroups. To isolate and characterize hematogeneously spreading c-
## Abstract Recent research advances show that tumor cell intravasation (entry into the circulation) and metastasis occur very early in breast cancer progression. Clinical studies also illustrate the potential importance of detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in outcomes of patients with me
