Figure Lengend Snippet: Evidence of Rb spontaneous metastasis in different parts of chick embryo analyzed using in vivo IVIS spectral imaging. Representative image of in vivo fluorescence observed in chick embryo transplanted with (a) CM-Dil Y79 CD133 - cells, (b) CM-Dil Y79 CD133 + cells, (d) eGFP Y79 CD133 - cells, and (e) eGFP Y79 CD133 + cells. Quantification of fluorescence intensity within the chick embryo revealed that CD133 - cells had increased spontaneous metastasis when compared to CD133 + cells (**P = 0.0077, 0.0017)
Article Snippet: Cultured Y79 cells and eGFP Y79 cells were sorted using CD133 micro bead kit according to manufacturer’s protocol (MiltenyiBiotec Inc., Auburn, CA) as described previously.
