TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The acquisition of fresh human tissue is often an impediment to significant research advances. As an alternative, Discovery Life Sciences offers cryopreserved human dissociated tumor cells (DTCs) and tissues as a viable specimen source for many downstream applications, including immunophenotyping, bulk and single-cell sequencing, and single-cell functionality. Extensive cellular profiling of DTCs by flow cytometry revealed indication-specific trends in the composition of the tumor microenvironment. Additionally, these specimens provide the opportunity to screen for novel biomarker expressions including the expression patterns of the programmed cell death protein-1/ programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD1/PDL1) pathway.

Key Points: 
  • In this free webinar, explore the applications of cryopreserved human dissociated tumor cells (DTCs) for drug and diagnostic development.
