New publication in Cell Reports Medicine uses recombinant VAR2CSA to isolate circulating tumor cells and generate patient-relevant mouse models for pancreatic cancer

The development of CTC-derived models specific to PDAC has remained challenging due to the limited number of CTCs retrieved from patients’ samples.   In work led by our collaborators, we demonstrated that our proprietary recombinant VAR2CSA, which specifically binds oncofetal chondroitin sulfate, retrieved more live CTCs than single antibodies for traditional CTC biomarkers (EpCAM, CD7, […]
