Molecular Characterization of Rare Cells
Overview Using the profile kits, CTCs and CECs are captured and presented in a volume of 900 microliters. No fixation, staining or permeabilization is performed during capture. Cells are captured alive and can be maintained and potentially propagated under appropriate tissue culture conditions. The enriched sample also contains ferrofluid and a few thousands leukocytes which were non-specifically retained during the enrichment procedure. Samples should be processed as soon as possible to maximize nucleic acid integrity and recovery. Blood samples may be stored or transported in EDTA tubes at room temperature for up to 36 hours prior to processing. Note however that immediate processing is preferred since a loss of mRNA from epithelial cells may result if processing is delayed. Captured cells can be lysed and stored in Trizol or RLT buffers for future extraction of total RNA (including miRNA), DNA and proteins. Simultaneous extraction of RNA, DNA and proteins can be performed from each sample using: • Trizol protocol from Invitrogen (http://tools.invitrogen.com/content/sfs/manuals/trizol_reagent.pdf) • AllPrep kits from Qiagen (http://www.qiagen.com/literature/render.aspx?id=2067) • All-in-One Purification kit from Norgen (http://www.norgenbiotek.com/display-product.php?ID=101) Numerous commercial kits can be used for separate isolates of RNA, miRNA, DNA and proteins. We recommend utilizing kits that are designed for small samples since CTC-enriched samples rarely contain more than 10,000 cells.

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) — Custom
FISH assay development
• Unique probes prepared for each study • Utilizes special instrumentation for rare cell fixation in CELLSEARCH® cartridges If desired, FISH can be performed following enumeration kits that were described above. Rare cell FISH allows interrogation of CTCs at the genetic level. Janssen Diagnostics was the first company to create REPEAT-FREE™ probes, which provide a clearer signal and are easier to score. By removing the repeat sequences, Janssen Diagnostics made it possible to deliver a level of performance key to understanding complex diseases. Numerous FISH assays have been developed for CTCs. Examples include Her-2/SE17, cMET/SE7, EGFR/SE7, AR/SEX, ERG break, AURK-A/Chr20, AURK-B/SE17, P53/SE17, IGF1-R/Chr15, cMYC/SE8 and PTEN/SE10. Additional assays can be developed upon request. Please note that subsequent FISH analysis requires special equipment and fixation of captured stained cells in cartridges.

Multiple Protein Markers (Cheshire)
Fluorescent signals from an initial set of markers can be “erased” using a proprietary Cheshire procedure and re-stained with a second set of biomarkers. For details about this protocol please contact CRS:
