Figure Lengend Snippet: HER2 expression analysis in spiked SKBR3 BC cell lines. ( A ) IF images of SKBR3 cells and PBMCs recovered from HDB, either spiked with SKBR3 cells (left) or non-spiked (right). Blood was processed using the EpCAM-independent pipeline. Spike-in experiments were conducted in triplicate. The recovered cells were stained for DAPI (blue), CD45 (red), EpCAM/CK (green) and HER2 (cyan) markers. The majority of recovered SKBR3 cells were DAPI+, CD45-, EpCAM/CK+, and HER2+, whereas the majority of cells recovered from the non-spiked HDB blood were DAPI+, CD45+, EpCAM/CK-, and HER2- ( B ) Comparative bar chart showing the HER2 expression levels (high, intermediate, and low/none) established on the recovered SKBR3 cells using the EpCAM-independent pipeline.
